Summary: Yep, me too!

Yep, My option key on my Extended Keyboard on my Mac II running 4.2/6.0
has been stuck down before. And to top it off, I have had my Caps Lock
light get stuck on, when the button is still up! It must be a bug in the
ADB driver.

To Apple: How does one light the Num Lock or Scroll Lock keys from a program??
IM vol V has no info on this subject and I don't feel like dissassembling
the ADB driver to see how the Caps Lock light works, and then guesstimate the
method for the others. I am sure that the development community would like a
tech note on this, as many people are now diddling with emulation of YOU-KNOW-
WHO machines and UNIX stuff, where these lights may be useful.
