Notes
The value byte alters Break and modifiers of it as follows:
| Bits | Key combination |
|---|---|
| 0,1 | Break |
| 2,3 | Shift Break |
| 4,5 | Ctrl Break |
| 6,7 | Ctrl Shift Break |
Each two bit numbers can mean one of these:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 00 | Act as reset |
| 01 | Act as escape key |
| 10 | No effect |
| 11 | Undefined |
The default is %00000001, so Break causes an escape condition, together with Shift and/or Ctrl it acts like the reset button.
Please note that this SWI also alters the CMOS when writing a new status.
