Right after the GS was discontinued, I started working as the Apple Student
Rep at WSU, and I asked the system engineer at that time about why the
Adjustable Keybd didn't work with the GS, and he got very defensive, saying
that Apple was not concerned with GS compatibility.  I did get out of him
that there was probably some kind of ROM in the Adjustable Keybd that
prevented it from working w/ the GS.
