This appendix describes the Compaq keyboard that is included as standard with the system unit.

programmability for additional functions.
This appendix covers the following keyboard types:
Standard/space-saver enhanced keyboard.
Windows-version keyboard featuring three additional keys for specific support of the
Windows operating system.
Erase-Ease keyboard featuring a split spacebar that can be user-programmed to provide easy
access to the backspace function or set to operate as the normal spacebar.
Only one type of keyboard is supplied with each system. Other types are available as an option.
NOTE: This appendix discusses only the keyboard unit. The keyboard interface is a
function of the system unit and is discussed in Chapter 5, Input/Output Interfaces.
