Emulating Sun Keys with a PS/2 Keyboard
We recommend that you use a Sun keyboard and mouse at your user
stations if there are any Sun servers in your Paragon system. If you must
use a PS/2 keyboard to control a Sun server attached to your Paragon
system, Paragon is able to perform some keyboard emulation. To emulate
most of the special “extra” keys that are present on Sun keyboards but not
on PS/2 keyboards, first press and hold either Scroll Lock or the
combination of Ctrl and Alt; these function as permanent “Sun keystroke
hot keys.” (If Scroll Lock is your OSUI hot key or previous-channel hot
key, you will want to use Ctrl + Alt.) Then press the corresponding
character on the PS/2 keyboard:
While pressing a character
hotkey, press this PS/2 keyboard

The one exception to this procedure is the Sun keyboard's Stop character.

and press the letter A.
