Just ordered one of the Datadesk Mac-101 extended keyboards for the Mac
Plus.  However, there's one thing I noticed about the Mac-101 that Datadesk
confirmed when I called them: the keyboard isn't enabled until the system
file is loaded (at least on the non-ADB model).  Thus, hitting the shift key
so that Font/DA Juggler won't load, or the Cmd key so that the machine comes
up in Finder Mode when startup is set to MultiFinder mode, doesn't work.

My question: a)  anyone know if there is a workaround on this?  b)  Anyone
know if Datadesk will/can fix this bug?

Thanks....
