Hi

I got the Sparc2 a few weeks ago and cant get it to see the type5 keyboard I have to try it out with.

I only have that one keyboard to test this so I don't know if there is a problem with the keyboard, sparc2, or its just that a type5 does not work on a sparc2.

When I power on the keyboard, the leds flash on the keyboard (power ok to keyboard) , but I get a message on the sparc it cant ID the keyboard.

I am suspecting the serial line trans/receiver chips for the keyboard serial line maybe have gone bad on the sparc, is that a frequent failure? Ill probe with a scope if I have to...

Also I have a mouse model4 (or type 4?) can the special mouse pad for these be substituted by something else?

Claude
