Exactly. The std AT keyboard socket is owned superHermes and nothing to
do with Aurora (the motherboard).
Careful when writing boot programs as you need the sH driver loaded
before the keyboard will work. Keep an emergency boot disk - the sH disk
will do. If it has Romdisq, then you can add special file(s) which load
drivers before F1/F2 prompt.
We had a nice exercise at an Eindhoven workshop where we used a
microdrive to rescue such a problem. There was no working floppy disk
and the HD boot crashed.
