The drivers load properly only if there is suitable hardware available,
or they have been written to wait for the hardware to appear (e.g. for
USB devices to be plugged in). Hence your keyboard drivers for Sun,
PC/XT, Apple Newton, etc., won't load on a modern laptop.

No, it seems to be as I wrote above.
