Additional key on 102-key keyboard
102-key "Enhanced" keyboard layout - additional key to the left of the <Enter> key)
Isn't the key between 'shift' and the 'z' key? Edward 00:43, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- See the Standard Keyboard Layouts (http://www.pcguide.com/ref/kb/layout/std.htm) page's '102-Key "Enhanced" Keyboard Layouts item':
- An extra key containing the supplanted "#" and "~" symbols has been added to the left of the main <Enter> key. This seems a major step backwards given the complaints about an extra key in this location in the 83-key layout.
- Another step backwards: the backslash / vertical bar key has been relocated back to its former place--to the right of the left <Shift> key. Bizarre.
- Perhaps the key you refer to is the relocated backslash / vertical bar key? --Wernher 20:29, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, it is. Edward 00:43, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

PC/XT keyboard
Does anybody have any photos of ancient PC/XT keyboards that came out before the PC/AT keyboards? If they do, I want to see some. I am curious about the past. --SuperDude 05:33, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
