How about Sun USB keyboards? I have B&W G3 and Sun USB Type 6 keyboard. 
It doesn't work with OpenFirmware (I can't enter OF at all with this 
keyboard). However, it does work perfectly with this G3 once operating 
system is loaded (I tested it under OS X and NetBSD).

Fortunately one of my co-workers had generic PeCee USB keyboard, and I 
used it to enter OF - it worked fine.

So I wonder, what makes Sun USB keyboard incompatible with Apple 
OpenFirmware?
