Well, sort of.

I have a SunRace HB3000S Notebook which I try to run a current -current
on.  Recently, some colleagues fitted it with a Win'95 harddisk for some
tests.  Booting Win'95 reliably messes something up in the machine so
that -current's pccons doesn't react to keys being pressed on a keyboard
(both internal and external).  Pccons probes the keyboard OK.  The
keyboard does work normally in the boot loader and, of course, under DOS
and Windows 3.11/WfWg.

Enabling the internal Logitech PS/2 style track ball brings the keyboad
to life under -current.  

If someone wants to debug that problem (I don't know how the keyboard
controller works) I'm happy to run any code or bring the machine on the
net.
