You can't use the XT keyboard on the AT. To begin with, they have different
scan codes on reset, which will cause the 301 error you probably saw. There
is the IBM extended keyboard (the one with F11 and F12) which will work
on both as long as you have the right BIOS ROM in your XT, but that's about
it, unless you want to recode the BIOS or keyboard controller yourself and
program the EPROMs.

             I doubt any of these opinions are those of my employer.
                   I don't agree with ANYTHING they say.
