Hi Eric,

I am using an AppleDesign Keyboard right now with Proterm 3 on my GS.
(Is that info real enough? :)

I got it through my friendly local university computer center.
I haven't had a chance to investigate programming the function keys
using Bill Tudor's utility, but I plan to. 

The things that DO work are...Control-Reset combinations...
the caps/num/scroll lock lights..(whoopee)...keypad.
I think it's a fairly decent keyboard; the feel isn't what I'm used
to with the regular GS keyboard, but it'll do.

If you have any specific tests you'd like me to try on it, let me know.
