HELP! Message-ID: Date: 31 Jan 91 05:52:00 GMT Sender: rfrost@spam.ua.oz Distribution: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware Organization: Dept. of Stats Pure & Appl. Maths, Adelaide University Lines: 24 What scan codes do the extended keyboard keys output when the NUMLOCK is 'ON' and when the NUMLOCK key is 'OFF' ? Are these different? If the scan codes are not different, how is it that it is possible to get numerals output from the extended keys when the NUMLOCK status is out of sequence with the computer by unplugging the keyboard? What good technical reference material is there on such topics? If anyone has a text file describing IBM keyboards in detail, please email it to me.
