the hp diag will tell you whether the rom is ABA
(US english
) or ABB
(intl / european english
) or anything else.
to the best of my knowledge, those three extra keys will never work with an ABA rom. no one found a workaround yet.. i wish i were able to extract the keyboard drivers from the ROM in a working state. so you will get a US layout with that rom. everything is still there, just not easy access to the accented european chars.
my ABB 727 has the same problem, with a US ABA 728 rom and ram
but the ram upgrade was worth it as it is the test machine and the extra ram helps quite a lot
and as it is the test machine it doesn't need the hungarian accented chars..
the matching keyboard is ABA in this case
(three keys less and most of the jornadas on ebay are ABA
), and it will fit just fine on the ABB motherboard i believe.
