You might want to look into creating an NVRAMRC and setting the OBP to use 
it.  I've not done this in many years, so I'm very rusty, but head on over 
to docs.sun.com and look the documentation on the open boot prom... From 
what I recall, any forth commands you add to the nvramrc should execute on 
power up before booting...

You might just be able to buy it, I remember some uBooks had this option, 
but no idea what the details are.  I think (i.e. might be wrong) that it 
sits inside one of the hard drive slots...  I did try to purchase some RAM 
for mine when I had it, but it was very expensive, so I gave up on upgrades 
other than the hard drive...

It should recognize any type4/5/6 keyboard plugged in automatically - but 
I've never had experience with non-USA keyboards, so I don't know what to 
tell you there.
