Keyboard Definition and Redefinition
The following paragraphs present the definitions for the 6100 keys and specify
the interface used for keyboard redefinition.  Keep in mind that the 6100 ComĆ
puter you are using may not be defined exactly as described below.  The keyĆ
board is almost totally redefinable, except for the Gold" key (yellow shift), which
returns key codes 15 or 79.
References
Refer to a book such as: System BIOS for IBM PC's, Compatibles, and EISA
Computers, Second Edition Phoenix Technologies LTD, for the scan codes, make
codes, and break codes for a standard keyboard, or Ralf Brown's Interrupt List.

The logical keyboard is a view of the keyboard as represented to the user.  The
above chart shows an example of a Logical Keyboard layout, without overlays.
The layout on your keyboard may (or may not) be the same.  Depending on the
unit, either the [I/0] or the [Suspend/Resume] key is in upperĆleft corner of the
keyboard.  On some units, press the [Gold] key before the [Suspend/Resume] key.
The darkly shaded area, in the above diagram, represents the Gold" key (or the
Yellow Shift" key).  The lightly shaded areas represent functions produced by
shifting (holding down the Gold" key), then pressing one of the other keys.  UnĆ
shaded areas show the functions produced by pressing a key without shifting.
