At one of our sites, we have a 386 which is used to monitor PLCs. It doesn't
have a keyboard (it doesn't need one and there isn't enough room to put one
conveniently). Upon occasion, it needs to be booted up. 8-)  Without the
keyboard, we get a 301 error and the computer tells us to press F1. Kind of
difficult without a keyboard. Is there a way to trick the computer into
thinking that there is a keyboard present? I could always butcher a (slightly)
damaged keyboard.
