I wondered if the Nintendo protocol provides for more simultaneous keys
pressed than the PS/2 interface keyboard is capable of reporting. This
would allow for some flexibility in the implementation of a PS/2 to GC
adaptor.

However it is certainly possible that the difference in behaviour is due
to missing initialisation when booting via the Max Drive Pro (which as
far as I know has no keyboard support) but present in PSO.
