Hmm, I guess I'll have a look. I intended to make the batteries look 
like ACPI batteries as far as envsys is concerned.

Stuff like the 0 after caps lock. And when you send a command to the 
keyboard ( for instance to control LEDs on an Extended II ) you get a 
couple more 0 as answers - not actually from the keyboard but from 
somewhere in the bowels of the ADB handler, apparently it can't clearly 
distinguish between keyboard events and answers to TALK requests.
And I forgot - my code doesn't honour CAPS_IS_CONTROL - mainly because 
caps lock pretends to be a mechanical locking key so we get only the 
down or only the up event and nothing else and second because some 
keyboards control their LEDs themselves, like those in *Books. Evil 
hack IMHO.

have fun
Michael
