Ah.  I should have thought to ask about that...

If you look at the code, that means we sent it a reset, and it
did not respond with its ID.  Are you sure you wired up both
directions of the data leads?  (The kbd is bi-directional!)

You could hack the code to assume type 3 if no answer arrives.
I think the sun keyboards all use a superset of the type 3 codes.
This checks out for type 3 and type 4 keyboards at least, so
the worst that would happen is some new keys would be ignored.

Possibly.  I don't know.

The keyboard driver was taken directly from the sparc port and simply
reorganized a bit (better) so I doubt the sparc code would help much.
