Row 4, IIRC.

EDIT: Whatever the number of the row, ESC key fits on the upper row and the one below it.

As woody said, Esc, F1-F12, PrintScreen/SysRq, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break, Tilde-+/=, Insert-PgUp, Numlock-Numdivide (Or whatever the top row of a numpad is, if you have one)

The keys on the F-row and the number row have the same profile.

The classic position for the key is to the left of the 1 key. For instance, that is the position on the IBM Model F XT. IBM Model F AT has it on the numeric key pad, next to . (and there are even Model F - clones that have it in both positions...).

The classic position is in the upper left corner, so it's good on the XT and good on the PC101/104. Makes hitting ESC without thinking a breeze.

Now, this below is fscked up:
