Hi all,
It just happens that I had an IBM Aptiva back in 99 when I was in graduate school. Anyway, I just came across the US type keyboard (PS2) that came with that PC and to be fair it works great.. it has a great feeling when you type. Anyway..I tried to hook it up to my Mac mini and no dice...
This is what I have tried so far:
1. Hooked it up to a PC to check if it still works and it does.
2. Bought a second ps2 to usb adapter of better quality than the first one I ad (its from Radio Shack).
3. I tried to work around on the keyboard & mice menu on Tiger ..and tried out the assistant that helps recognize the keyboard. The spinning wheel justs keeps on looking for this type of keyboard to no end. It doesn't recognize a keystroke at all.
When I turn on the Mac mini, the keyboard lights turn on.. but that is all to it. I have tried a Microsoft Internet Keyboard and Belkin...and they do work.
Anyway, I have gotten to a point that for the sake of ancient IBM technology this darn keyboard has to work on my mac mini.
So.. the question is, have any of you guys had any experience with IBM keyboard and a Mac mini?
The model is the KB9930 and a picture of it

thanks for any help I can get,
regards
