How to tell an Apple ISO USB keyboard from an Apple ANSI ISO keyboard

The Apple USB keyboard comes in three different kinds:

ANSI (American)
ISO (European)
JIS (Japanese)

The ANSI keyboard

Here a picture and description of the ANSI keyboard. This keyboard is sold in North America.

The ISO keyboard

Alas, no picture available. Differences from the ANSI keyboard:

The ISO keyboard has an extra key between the left shift key and the Z key.
The arrangement of the return key and the backslash key differs.
The key labeling differs: most keys have symbolic labels, instead of text labels. I have a Dutch ISO keyboard, and the only Dutch word on this keyboard is num vergr, which stands for num lock.

This keyboard is sold in Europe, and maybe other places as well. To get this keyboard working with LinuxPPC 2.2.10 apply the patch mentioned on my homepage.

The JIS keyboard

Alas, never seen one and no picture available. I have no idea if this keyboard works with LinuxPPC.
