Eject Keys
Random question to anyone familiar with Macintosh keyboards and possibly USB.
On the keyboard of a desktop Mac there is a lovely little button that ejects your cdrom. I'm trying to discover what exact hex code is being sent when that key is depressed. I would have thought it'd followed the traditional F12, but it seems that just isn't true anymore. Looking through the USB documentation I find Power at hex 66, but the USB docs clearly state:
Reserved for typical keyboard status or keyboard errors. Sent as a member of the keyboard array. Not a physical key.
Emphesis is mine, but it still leaves me at what's the key code?
Email me if you know!
