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 servers in your Paragon system. If you must
use a PS/2 keyboard to control a Sun server attached to your Paragon
system, Paragon is able to perform some keyboard emulation. To
emulate most of the special “extra” keys that are present on Sun
keyboards but not on PS/2 keyboards, first press and hold either Scroll
Lock or the combination of Ctrl and Alt; these function as permanent
“Sun keystroke hot keys.” (If Scroll Lock is your OSUI hot key or
previous-channel hot key, you will want to use Ctrl + Alt.) Then press the
corresponding character on the PS/2 keyboard:
While pressing a character
hotkey, press this PS/2
keyboard key...

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.
