When I saw this thread, I was reminded of my attempts to get a
keyboard as cool (although inaccurate) as the one in Tomorrow Never
Dies (1997).

Don't own one, but it is supported by puc(4) in 5.8.

It's pretty useful in high availability enterprise environments. There
is no other good way to collect some of that sensor data.

If you have a pair setup for redundancy, it really comes down to the
expected network utilization. What sort of network are we talking
about?

PPC iMacs were dead by the time DisplayPort was conceptualized.

I had to reinstall Compaq Tru64 UNIX a year ago on a system. That
experience will make anyone love the OpenBSD installer.

I believe the issue is with /src/usr.bin/file/magdir/animation on line 280.

# MP3, M1A
# modified by Joerg Jenderek
# GRR the original test are too common for many DOS files
# so don't accept as MP3 until we've tested the rate
0   beshort&0xFFFE

The initial matching seems to be occurring because the line is missing
the proper value to match to. The further tests for sampling rate and
number of independent audio channels is then occurring.

I believe it should be:

# MP3, M1A
# modified by Joerg Jenderek
# GRR the original test are too common for many DOS files
# so don't accept as MP3 until we've tested the rate
0   beshort&0xFFFE  0xFFFA

or somebody secretly embedded a Carly Rae Jepsen into the ISO.
