Greetings!
I am trying to finish documenting NCD keyboards and there's
one area that has proven to be quite elusive... I don't expect to
uncover any/many answers here, either -- but, it's worth a shot...
Has anyone ever *seen* a "secure keyboard" for an NCD?
Does it *look* the same as any other keyboard? If so, *which*?
Or, was this an option that could be incorporated into *any* of the
standard keyboards? It is my understanding that there were no
other "magic keys" *added* to the keyboard to get these features;
is that true?
What was the procedure used to secure and unsecure the
NCD? Presumably, the keyboard identified itself to the terminal
in such a way that the terminal would add extra "security" options
to the various menus. Were these user-visbile changes limited to the
boot monitor? Or, were there consequences evident in NCDware?
Are there any markings on the keyboard that identify it as such
(e.g., a different model number, etc.)? Photos would be *excellent*!
Extra credit question: what is the keyboard code that it delivers
to the terminal to identify itself?
Thanks!
