I'm using the same model of Dell keyboards on the following RS6K: 7012-320H
7011-250 both sort of desktops and 7013-530 and 7013-59H deskside servers.
When I saved them I had only one original IBM keyboard, what I did is reinstall
AIX 4.2.1 from scratch using the Dell keyboard (model SK-1000RE) and an HP
mouse (model C-3751B). Maybe that did the trick

If anybody on the list has a set of RAM board for a RS6K 59H and wants to
exchange them I'd be interested in hearing from him

Cheers.
