USB / SUN Combo keys 
The connected PS/2 keyboard does not have a special SUN keypad to perform special functions in 
the SUN Operating System environment. So when a USB or SUN ADAPTOR is connected to a SUN 
computer, the ADAPTOR emulates these SUN keys using a set of key combinations called Combo 
keys. See the table below.
