Are there sources for the keys? My ancient RS/6000 has the lock
'sprung' so that any screwdriver will turn it. My SparcServer 1000 has
the lock intact (and I have the key).
Yeah, kind of. But needs must, I suppose. I've lost the ignition key
for my PDP-11, so I've basically jumped across the switch pins in the
mains plug with a bit of wire. At some point I'll either get round to
getting a key made, or getting another lock, or just pulling the tumblers.
