Apple keyboard scancode question, Cmd, F13

i always had this question.

does Apple keyboard's Cmd key actually send a different scancode than PC's Win key?

similar question for the F13, F14, F15, vs the Print Screen, Scroll lock, pause/break.

thanks.

Maybe it's just a styled section sign.

you are probably right. Will go with that. Am trying to create a diagram of its layout.

do you plan to get this keyboard to work?

a lisp machine Rainer Joswig got a later model of the lisp machine keyboard on his mac. But his website seems down. Another ...

Got it from someone who was working at MIT's AI lab when these were being built. He had this one in storage ever since.
I wasn't using Lisp machines in the 80ties, a was just a small innocent little duck back then.

@webwit i used your photos at http://xahlee.org/kbd/lisp_keyboards.html Thanks for the perm.

What's the one in front for the key “:”?
it looks like section sign “§” but doesn't seem to be.

btw, where do you get a new one like that? It's quite amazing.

were you using lisp machines in the 1980s?
