Appendix F: Emulating Sun Keys with a PS/2
Keyboard
We recommend that you use a Sun keyboard and mouse at your user stations if there are any Sun CPUs in
your Paragon system. If you must use a PS/2 keyboard to control a Sun CPU attached to your Paragon
system, the Paragon is able to perform some keyboard emulation. To emulate most of the special “extra”
keys that are present on Sun keyboards but not PS/2 keyboards, first press and hold either [
Scroll Lock ] or
the combination of [ Ctrl ] and [ Alt ]; these function as permanent “Sun keystroke hotkeys.” (If [ Scroll Lock ]
is your OSUI hotkey or previous-channel key you will want to use [ Ctrl ] + [ Alt ].) Then press the
corresponding character on the PS/2 keyboard:

The one exception to this procedure is the Sun keyboard’s [Stop] character. To generate [Stop] with a PS/2
keyboard, hold down the [
Pause/Break ] key and press the letter [ A ].
