   Not completely true.  When the machine powers up, the key mapping on
a standard PS/2 keyboard is wrong, but if you can log in and run the
"dkbdsal" diag program, it'll remap the keys for you - at least on AIX
3.2.5.  I ran an RS/6000 220 for quite some time that way.

   But it sure does make it easier - and it'll tell you the command
it's going to execute so you can learn from it!

   Cheers.
