Interestingly enough this may be an urban legend propagated by lazy
keyboard manufacturers. Judging by comments made in Another Place,
people who have built their own USB keyboard controllers can get more
than 6-kro with the right o/s drivers (Linux and Windows from memory).
It seems that the 6-kro limit is supposed to apply just to pre-o/s
environments.
