- How about a switch wired up to the serial port? A small device driver
- could look at the serial port periodically and stuff an ESC in the
- keyboard buffer if it finds something. I posted a message from the
- HP BBS awhile ago about a tiny track ball that would plug directly
- into the 95 serial port, the buttons on the track ball could serve
- the same function.
