Excellent.  Many thanks for the test info.  

Now this hardware key thing...  Let's see, if I were a field-tech and I
were going to have to more fully test a user's machine, I would want the
hardware key to be something that plugs into an exterior port... like the
printer port, or the 25pin serial port... Also because we're talking about 
DEC, the hardware guys will probably have made the key something
brain-dead simple like short pins 24-25 of the DB25 connector.

Time for some investigation.
