Actually, it depends on the keyboard. I do recall on a Japanese Thinkpad 
240 there were a few more keys than that (for instance the left shift key 
was a single square because they squeezed an extra key in there, the upper 
row of numbers actually lined up with the row below because there wasn't 
enough room to displace them to the left and so on) ... I could imagine 
some scancodes would be quite different to a 'normal' keyboard (besides 
which that keyboard on that website isn't even 'normal' anyway, the other 
markings are British! Just look at the " above the 2 key!) ;-)

Having said that all you'd need to do is reprogram that lookup table and 
you'll be fine ... plus you'll have some extra keys to do other things with!
