15. USB SUN Combo keys

The connected PS/2 keyboard does not have a special SUN keypad to perform

special functions in the SUN Operating System environment. So when a USB or

SUN Transmitter is connected to a SUN computer, the Transmitter emulates these

SUN keys using a set of key combinations called Combo keys. See the table below.
