IBM 1483DSV User Manual

Native mode causes the display station to provide to the attached controller unconverted
keyboard scan codes which are defined by the controller depending on how it is configured.
Native mode is available on the 102/103-key, 104-key, and 122-key keyboards. In
Native mode, all 122-key keyboard functions are available. Native mode also allows the
