I just know that someone _has_ written a driver for the Apollo keyboard, but
it's not (yet?) included in the standard bsd distribution. I also don't know
how reliable this driver works ... I sent a copy of this message to ths list,
perhaps someone else can answer these questions.

Additionally I will look for an spare HP HIL keyboard, if I'll find one, I
could send it to you.

best regards,
