His comment:
"There was a lot of cut and try--the amount of bad information out there
is staggering. Ultimately, I used the 5170 techref KB section as a
reference, along with the 5150 tecref. IBM tends to get their
documentation right.
You'd better believe that I got the backslash mapping right for a
machine that pretty much runs DOS only!"
And he has it as 2a. (42)
If I had an XT here (or knew someone handy with AVRs with an XT that
could test), I'd just test it that way...
(I thought sure the SLT/286 was an XT KB, but it's AT, and my CBM colt
is AT as well...)

I'm trying to add XT KB support to a project
here, and I am having
trouble sorting out a few scan codes. A response over at the VC
Forum notes I should grab these two references, so I am wondering if
anyone has a link or soft copy.
Probably making an ass of myself (I've done
several keyboard drivers in SW but
have never hacked the HW protocol), but why wouldn't \ be 2Bh? That's what
it looks like to software (on a PC or XT, or on an AT/later with translation
enabled), and it's what the table on page 1-77 of the PC Tech Ref 2.02 says
(I have the original manual but nothing machine-readable, sorry).
