Hi i damaged my apple keyboard by spilling liquid onto it... I have connected up a USB PC Keyboard and all works fine except i cant emulate volume buttons or an eject button. Does anyone know any software i can download that will let me map the keys to specific functions? Or what keys on the keyboard do eject and volume?

F12 with a pc keyboard opens and closes the optical drive on a mac. I use an hp keyboard with my quicksilver and ibook and it works fine. However don't expect the other than standard keys to work.

Inside that window, double click on the icon called Eject.menu. Now when you look at the menubar there is an eject icon. Hope that helps.
