     There must be several versions of Apple's ADB Keyboard II:

I have two myself, on my GS (well one and a spare) and they both have
the 'normal' ESC key in the corner as well as the RESET key on a standard
spring-loaded key connector.
     Then there are the Mac SE's in one of the school labs here.  They
are also labelled  "Keyboard II", with the 'proper' ESC key, but they
seem to have their RESET keys mounted on some sort of touch-sensitive
connector.  (Very awkward feel to that RESET button, too).
     Then there are the Mac Classics in another lab with both the 'funky'
ESC key by the spacebar, and the 'funky' RESET key.

Arrrgh!  How many Keyboard II's can there be??
