Well, I think the "offical" position is we don't support it.  However, I
may be mistaken about which keyboard it really is.  The keyboard you
have seems to behave that same as the North American and works fine (as
far as my limited testing went).

Don't worry, it works.  If you find a problem with it, let me know.  We
had no idea that that many of those keyboards where out there and did
not test it.  When we did the R4 Apollo server, we had very little
experience with Apollo machines.
