    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I currently ignore the right click button, does not pass it to MacOS, and do not enable ps2 intellimouse features (such as all the extra buttons, scroll wheel, etc). It could do something with it, but 1) pre-ADB has no way to pass a second button, since the mouse button is a switch on a wire...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    Thanks for testing it! I think I've seen that too. It sounds pretty reproducible, I'll take a look. This should be a simple mapping thing. The docs on the keypad are a bit wonky, but I'll take another look. Weird. For PS2 keyboards, the keyboard will do the key repeat and repeatedly send a...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I've been working on an 'owner's manual' of sorts wiki page: https://mac68k.info/wiki/display/mac68k/PS2+Adapter It has discussion on the power situation. The mac's 5V is not connected to the adapter board. Only 3 of the 4 keyboard wires are connected. I'd prefer to keep it simple, maybe...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    It'd be great if you wanted to test one out. I just sent out 4 boards attached to the discovery board, but always looking for more people interested. When I originally setup the keyboard port, I didn't realized telephone handset cords were rolled, so yeah. techknight has suggested a couple...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I was cleaning up my desk a little, and found all the various incarnations of the adapter board, so I lined them all up for a picture. It's a little embarrassing it took me so many iterations (and so long) to get things to where they are. But maybe sharing my learning process can get other...

    Confusion over 800k external floppy drives. Also: CapNet

    My M0131 does not boot my 64k ROM 512k either. I haven't made one of those CapNet things, but I'd be interested in hearing about any experiments with building one. The DE9 versions of the phone net adapters are slightly more difficult to find, and more expensive than the minidin8 ones. Just...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I've got a turbo slab with an ADB soundbox around here somewhere, I can give that a shot. I've ordered a half dozen of the stm32f0discovery cpu boards that should be here early next week, and can then start sending out units to the adventurous among you.

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I tested with a IIgs ROM1, and was able to enter the control panel, navigate around, and use the keyboard in prodos. I haven't tried GS/OS.

    PB Duo: keyboard substitute

    Yes, Duo keyboards are that bad. Worse, in fact. Duos are banned from this house due to the keyboard. Their keyboards might infect the others, and we can't have that.

    Netatalk & System 6?

    Appletalk most likely won't be bridged over the natted VM NIC, so you'll need to stick with the bridged interface. My atalkd.conf has this: eth0 -dontroute -phase 2 -net 0-65534 -addr 65280.151 You'll probably want that to be your bridged interface. Something else to help narrow things down a...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I just tested it with an M0116 keyboard, and an MS Intellimouse plugged into the ps2/adb adapter, plugged into the M0116. It seems to work fine. However, if you're interested in a ps2 mouse to adb adapter only, you might be interested in the Gee Three I linked to earlier.

    Reading more than two keys?

    Have you tried GetKeys() or are you going off your reading of the documentation? Using this code, at least with my ps2/adb adapter, is showing at least 5 non-modifier keys down simultaneously: void main(void) { KeyMap keys; while(1) { GetKeys(keys); printf("%lx %lx %lx...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    Yes, I know. The adapter is setting the capslock LED its self (mainly for the pre-ADB use). It is just not listening to writes on ADB register 2 of the keyboard ADB device, and translating those into the PS2 commands.

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    FWIW, it works for me. The issues I know about currently are: 1) The keyboard LEDs aren't controlled by the computer. System extensions that fiddled with the LEDs on the keyboard won't make the keyboard LEDs blink. 2) more than one keyboard or mouse might not work. My adapter doesn't do any...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    Oh, one other thing worth mentioning, I've sent off for some PCBs with both pre-ADB and ADB connectors for the stm32f4discovery board, which is the board I'm using for USB. Again, this board can only handle mouse or keyboard, not both, and it'll probably be ~$30 total for parts. So although no...

    PS2 Keyboard on Mac Plus

    I have what will probably be the final PCB of this board: It does both pre-ADB and ADB, keyboard and mouse. I've been using it with an SE and a 9600. I can't claim it's perfect, but I've been using it as my work keyboard & mouse for a day or so, and it seems to work OK for me. It has...

    DIY Localtalk - Ethernet converter

    Allow me to rephrase: SDLC is not a problem, but to want to implement SDLC on top of RS485 yourself instead of just using an $8 part for a low volume hobby run where you're donating your time, you'd have to really enjoy implementing SDLC.

    Ethernet MicroDock - any chance of repair?

    I haven't looked explicitly at the PCMCIA support of the .EDisk driver, I was mainly looking at the RAM and ROM boot capabilities for interoperability and ultimately my own driver. But it's definitely doing some PCMCIA booting of some sort. Presumably using some memory mapped mode.

    Ethernet MicroDock - any chance of repair?

    FWIW, the PCMCIA memory card booter driver is the .EDisk driver, also known as the RAM Disk driver, and the Classic's ROM Disk driver. The powerbook ROMs also have a bunch of junk in there for power management that isn't included on the desktop ROMs.
