I just bought 4 quadra 950s. They don't seem to recognize the standard ADB Pro Extended keyboard II, and Apple mouse I have used for testing, or a spare set that is also known to work. I there anything wierd I need to know or do? Am I missing something? I assume it just uses regular ADB stuff like anything else. 2 machines have HDs and boot up completely, the other two boot the the floppy prompt. None respond to mouse or keyboard input. *eep Apple. UNIX. A/UX rocked. |

If your Q950's are anything like mine, where you need to look is the ignition! Really, if the key/lock is twisted to the (...trying to remember...) RIGHT, like this: (/) then all user input is locked. I assume that this is to keep anyone from screwing up the server's settings while it's running (and out of the admin's sight!). If the key/lock is in the MIDDLE, like this: (|), everything should work right. And it's it's set to the LEFT: (\), then the system won't even boot at all.
Hope this helps!

Don't worry about it! Do your 950's have the proper keys? I have to admit, the key/ignition is the only reason I bought my 950 in the first place- I just couldn't get over the idea of owning a computer(not to mention a Mac!) that started up with the twist of a key! Just too darn cool to pass up...
I don't know if the 950's keys are interchangable or not, so if you're missing the proper key(s) to get these puppys up-and-running, lemme know and maybe we can figure it out.
Have fun!

It is easy to bypass the lock: just open the machine and have a look at where the wires load to the mobo, and play with shorting the jumpers.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit
