It looks like PRODOS v.19.0 (latest with executable file in it) cannot be used wth QEMU e1000 driver, because QEMU e1000 driver would not correctly set EEPROM checksum: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1639983 Will try oldest version (18.5).

So basically there's a specially crafted "French Canadian" keyboard layout. One learns new stuff every day. Thanks for the information! Unfortunately, it appears that none of the FreeDOS keyboard drivers (xkeyb, keyb, mkeyb) support the French-Canadian layout out of the box. regards, Mateusz
