I have the IBM Rapid Access Keyboard. It doesn't work under WinXP. I found on the net something about it:

I have an IBM Rapid Access keyboard with some (14) extra buttons and two more leds then a normal pc keyboard. To activate the extra buttons one has to send the sequence ea 71 to the keyboard. Once that is done the extra keys generate normal e0xx sequences. To turn off the extra keys you send ea 70.
There are 14 keys:
e0 25 (Suspend), e0 26 (Help), e0 32 (Prg 1), e0 17 (Prg 2), e0 30 (Prg 3), e0 2e (Prg 4), e0 19 (Play CD), e0 24 (CD Stop), e0 22 (CD Pause), e0 1e (Vol -), e0 29 (Vol +), e0 23 (Prev song), e0 21 (Next song), e0 12 (Mute).
The Suspend and Mute buttons have extra leds on them. These are controlled by the sequence eb 00 xx where the xx controls the leds. Bit 2 controls the Suspend led and bit 5 controls the Mute led.
But I don't know how to make a plugin (i'm a newbie). So can anyone make a plugin for IBM Rapid Access Keyboard from the information above???
I also have information about IBM Rapid Access Keyboard II and EZ button Keyboard. If anyone of you want, I can send it to you
