OK, next question. Is it possible to get the two keyboards working
simultaneously? Running:
kbdcontrol -k ${kbddev} < /dev/console
allows me to switch between them easily enough, but ideally I'd like for
both of them to work at once.
For some reason, I'm now evisaging keyboardd, doing something along the
lines of:
keyboardd -p /dev/kbd0
keyboardd -p /dev/kbd1
kbdcontrol -k /dev/syskeyboard < /dev/console
:)

I have discovered that at least the extra keys produce scancodes under
Linux (though it appears to be outside some limit of usable scancodes
and instead causes an error to be logged to dmesg).
