Dear gurus,

I've a keyboard mapping problem.

I'm trying to use a console switch (Belkin OmniCube 2 port) connected
to an AXP (AlphaStation 255) Digital Unix 4.0d and to a PC (WNT).
After the boot of the Alpha all is right, but when i boot the PC, and
I switch back to the Alpha, I found problems in some key
(Alt and CapsLock behave like the Ctrl key, and Ctrl key like CapsLock,
all middle-zone keys - with arrows - behave like the right-zone keys, with
numbers, and so on).
The same problem happens using the PC if I booted the Alpha after the PC
(but with a different mapping).

Anyone has found and solved this problem?

Thank you in advance for your help.
