14. 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 RICC USB or SUN is

connected to a SUN computer, the RICC emulates these SUN keys using a set of key

combinations called Combo keys. See the table below.
