IBM Keyboards:

Keyboard Row/Column decoder from PCjr chiclet-type keyboard is not dumped and is protected: attempted dump was blank, so it must be protected, and will require decapping. i8049?
Keyboard Row/Column decoder from PCjr alternate-type (later, clicky-looking normal keys) keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
Keyboard Row/Column Decoder from built-in keyboard in the IBM Portable PC model 5155 (PC/XT compatible) is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
Keyboard Row/Column Decoder from Model ?L? AT 94-key keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
