It's blocked by the enormous + key.

More details later.

You split the num pad + in 2? You should try some of the Shift's and the Enter's next and see what you get.

Oh, I've already done that :P

Left shift gives you Hiragana/Katakana switch.
Right shift is a mystery key.

Want to sell your + key?  Doubtful, but figured i'd ask.  I might be looking for one of them as well as an Alt key and possibly others for a PC-AT board.

One would have thought that the key in question would have a scan code of 7B, which would be hard to confuse with 56, the scan code of the F11 key.

You can see the scancodes for all the extra positions on my site. The one under keypad + sends 78, which translates to 57, F11.

When I tested mine, the two contacts under the spacebar had no response at all, but I was connecting through a blue cube. Can you confirm that they indeed send scancodes over ps/2? Do you know what USB adapter will send scancodes for those two?

That's how I tested them: under DOS, with the keyboard plugged into a PS/2-equipped motherboard.

I don't know if any USB adaptor will support those scancodes; it strikes me that one which allowed the translation to be customised would be a useful thing to have.
