[comp.sys.mac] System 4.1/Finder 5.5/PC MacKey kb bug

Hello,
 
  I just want to let everybody know that the Tangent Technologies 'PC MacKey'
keyboard (The one that is a modified AT keyboard for the Mac/Mac+ etc DOES
NOT WORK with System 4.1!!!  It did work with SYSTEM 4.0!!!!????!!!!
 
The symptoms:
 
  1)  It is not their INIT file, as I am not using it (It is optional for 
	alternate function key mapping)
  2) After 1 or 2 keystrokes, the keyboard hangs...
  3) And (get this!!)  KEYCAPS switches from Mac kb display to Mac+ (ie with
	numeric keypad) display constantly, Never stops.  Sounds like a timing 
	bug to me.
  4) It is not a broken keyboard, as I reinstalled a 4.0 system file and 
	rebooted, and the keyboard worked fine again...
  5) APPLE...What did you change (undocumented)??? HELP!!!!
 
 
Other than that, I like 4.1 system.
