Feisty has fixed the Ctrl-Alt-Fn problem. But the Mac keyboard is not
entirely correctly mapped. There is no 'hash' character, which is a
distinct drawback for commenting out lines of text in config files, And
the key to the left of Z, which shows tilda and back-quote (whatever the
proper name for that is!) produces < and >, which are duplicated as they
are already produced by the same shift keys as the PC105 keyboard.

There is also a key to the left of the number 1 which shows a paragraph
mark character normally and +/- character in shift. That produces 'back-
quote' and tilda respectively, which would more sensibly be mapped to
the key to the left of the Z which is marked appropriately. This  cries
out for the hash to be assigned to the +/-, leaving the paragraph mark
to sit in for that hockey stick shift character next to the 1 on a
PC105.

Apart from the three  volume control keys and a special arrow key above
the numpad, which produce a pretty graphic but don't otherwise do
anything, the keyboard  works well. In fact, after 5 minutes I've taken
to it over my many cherished Cherries  (sorry Cherry!).
