External Keyboard on Port Replicator

#1 Post by ambientscape » Sun May 01, 2005 7:29 am

I've just tried to fit a USB keyboard with a PS2 convertor so that I can fit into my PS2 (keyboard) connector. But it wouldn't work....but when I fit it into the USB connector it work.
The problem is I only have one USB connector for my Port Replicator II and would like use it for other things. How can I make the keyboard work in the PS2 connector?

Try a different keyboard. Some keyboards work only via USB

I do have to complain about the one USB port on the port replicator II. They really should have put in about four of them. Granted, USB hubs are cheap and I could go buy one, they could have just as easily built it in for me!
