Hi Volker, |
| 29 |

...yes, there is a ps/2 port...but this keyboard is that old, that it is |
| 31 |
recommended NOT to connect the keyboard to ANY "modern" PS/2 |
| 32 |
connector, since it does not comply to the standard very well. |
| 33 |
I choose exactly this adapter, because it is known to work with the |
| 34 |
keyboards "way of PS/2". If there is a little chance to enter BIOS and |
| 35 |
the BOOTSELECTOR using this keyboard I want really to avoid the hassle |
| 36 |
of having two boards connected to my PC (and wasting a USB port, |
| 37 |
too). |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Have a nice weekend! |
