37442	2002-02-28 11:43:00	Is the PS/2 port for the keyboard or a mouse? I think there's a difference but I am uncertain about this. Also you may have to enable PS/2 in the BIOS so you'll need to put the other keyboard in and enter it and hopefully it has PS/2 as an option.	Guest (0)

The extra bits are unlikely to work, but I would have thought (from the ideal viewpoint of never having tried this) that the standard keyboard functions would still work. After all, you have to be able to plug an keyboard into the modern computer. Is it a new 'guaranteed' keyboard -- a second hand one might be second-hand for a reason. I saw an HP multimedia keyboard sold at an auction last week. It had *no* pins in the minidin plug.I hope that was not you buying it.	Guest (0)
