That is my experience also. A cheap clone keyboard didn't want to play,
however, a genuine IBM AT Keyboard seems to work perfectly.

Apparently any number of (although not all) standard AT-style PC keyboards
will work with the machine. As far as mice go, mine looks like it's probably
just a quadrature-style
mouse, although my Aviion isn't working yet and I can't verify this.
Note that for all their outward similarity, the DG
mouse is not
interchangable
with a Sun mouse.
Erk. I was hoping they were. Darn. Anyone in Oz got a source for DG
Aviion style mice???
