It's from

The only UK keyboard I have here ( a 1993 IBM model M... ) has a
backslash / pipe key between left shift and z.

When I wrote adb_usb_map.c I just tried to get something that would
produce (as close as possible to) the same keys when translated again
through the USB map as the ADB map. Since all my ADB keyboard are US
variants a good bit of it is untested, at least by me.

have fun
