- I called Sun recently and learned that I could order Part T5KBD-21 for
- about $12 from SunExpress.
- One of my colleagues learned that the Type 5 kbd is dip-switch settable
- to emulate the Type 4 kbd.
-
- We use the latter solution.
- Sorry, I don't know what the switch settings are, and don't have access
- to the machine now.
