It's a USB keyboard. Please read what I wrote about USB HID keyboards in
a previous mail.

Your original post:
"FYI, especially for those considering add that dev to kernel, most
(99%) PC keyboards are "cheap" where multi-key-press is concerned, 3
is max. only high quality keyboard can register more (read: gaming
keyboards) - this then has affect on FireBee, CT6x, and anything else
that uses PS/2 keyboards.."

Again, it's completely irrelevant. Both the PS/2 and the IKBD protocols
(which all Ataris, the FireBee, the Milan, the Hades and all PC-keyboard
adapters use) allows for any number of simultaneous keypresses. Many
keyboards - mostly the more expensive ones with mechanical switches -
also allows this. Any limitation here depends on the internal
implementation in the keyboard and can't be detected by the host
computer.

So please don't make this any more complicated than necessary.
