If I remember correctly, my very old (750C, > no longer made) didn't support ScanSet I, so I don't think it's anything > new. The 750's run both NetBSD and Linux though. There are two ways to gain access to scanset I: you could switch the keyboard, or you could try convincing the controller to perform the translation. I'd recommed the van Gilluwe for the details (but i could also go further in email if you'd like to know, Nate). I suspect earlier Thinkpads to support only one of both methods (though i'm not sure which), while later ones might have dropped both. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
