My 3/60, purchased new and showing Apr/90 date of mfg, came with a type
4 keyboard.  The docs stated that the dip switch #1 should be set 'on'
for SunOS 3.5 on a Sun 3 and 'off' for SunOS 4.0 or later.  For Sun 386i
and Sun4 machines, switch 1 should be 'off'.  The LED's will only work
with SunOS 4.1 or later.

There should be no other problems, except you may need to change the key
mapping if your applications are specific for the old style keyboard.
