- I don't believe that the Mac has a separate keyboard driver. The keyboard,
-
- like the screen, is controlled by the system software itself, as an integral
-
- part. Why do you need to go so low-level though? It sounds as if what you
- need
- can be done by simply reading keyDown events. If you don't do it using
- the
- events manager, your program will probably not work on a Mac Plus, and
- may
- even be keyboard-dependent (ie not work on an Extended keyboard, or
- whatever)
- but I'm not sure about the latter. It would definitely not work on
- a Plus,
- however, which has no ADB. But you should be able to simply use the
- event
- manager, no?
