strange.  the reason why i ask is that the handler ID it is using (128 or
115 or whatever) isn't a standard apple handler id (those are usually less
than 20 or so).  if that's the case, i don't believe that macos will
recognize it quite properly.  then again, macos may be doing something to
put it into extended keyboard mode or something similar.  if you'd like,
you can get a copy of an adb utility such as ADB Prober (should be
available off of one of apple's web or ftp sites) and find out what the
handler id is under macos.  if it's not 115 or 128 and is instead
something more like 1, 2, or 4, then we can probably add some code to
initialize the keyboard properly under netbsd.

i'm pretty sure it's not, but you never know :-)

well, that sounds a bit odd, to put it mildly.  unless it's actually
returning a signed char whose value happens to be 0xff ;-)  is this
keyboard ever flakey under macos?

cool.  please do!
