Keyboard: what for scancode set 2 is intorduced in the AT???
I really don't understand what for scancode set 2 is developed. It seems to me that only for translating to the scancode set 1 since old DOS isn't aware of set 2. This illogicality is breaking my mind. I need some logical explanation.

Someone told me that set 2 is more ordered than set 1, but I can't see any order in both of them.

Set 1 is actually dead simple: Type in "QWERTY" on an US keyboard and you get a nicely sorted set of scan code numbers. In other words: if you hit a key, and then they key to the left or right of it, the difference is one - with some exceptions for the "large" keys. You only don't see the pattern when you type "ABCD" because the keys are physically located all over.

OK, I have seen order in set 1, but what about set 2? What set 2 was created for?
