(F1 through F12).

Using the Special Function (Fn) key which assigns multiple functions to
keys, the keyboard can emulate the IBM 101/102 keyboards.

The keyboard features a special keyboard interface chip that can detect
multiple levels of key input (good simulation of N-key rollover for up to 10
keys).

Some of the major features of the keyboard include:
