Very close, but there has to be some slight difference... don't know of
any NetBSD problems with them, but under MkLinux, when the 7200's were
first supported (or shortly thereafter), there was a problem with the
AppleDesign keyboard (the adb code crashed -- the famous "hangs after
mouse0 at..." bug -- possibly due to patches to support the keyboard
lights, but I'm not certain about that).  What was weird was that
switching to an extended keyboard (or perhaps an Extended Keyboard II?)
would allow the systems to boot, so there has to be some difference.  No
idea whatsoever about what that difference could be, though.  ;-)
