As new keyboard can be in new clone used external PS/2 keyboad or true internal keyboard (keyboards for notebook). Not each PC keyboard contain block with numeric keys, but it's not so big problem. On keyboards without numeric block will original sam coupe keys F0-F9 mapped on function keys F1-F10. Numeric block can be used as sam coupe function keys or as numeric keys(switchable).
