Hi there,

I bought a new mini keyboard and trackball to minimize the space on a keyboard tray of an equipment cart I built for my 16700A.

The trackball with usb/ps2 adapter works perfectly....



However, it appears that my keyboard isn't being recognized



I get no flashing numlock light on startup, and the attached monitor stays dim.

I tested the keyboard on a standard PC, and it works as it should.

Any idea as to what the problem is? And how to avoid buying another keyboard that also won't be compatible?

I'm looking for one that is not very wide..... 10 or 11" is perfect.

Thanks,
Keith

I've had good luck using Cherry G84-4100 / ML4100 native PS/2 keyboards on
16700 series logic analyzers. There are always several used and unused ones
listed on eBay. They are close to 11" x 5" in size.

The 16700 is awfully picky about keyboards. It will work with an original IBM PS2 keyboard, but not more recent IBM keyboards. I wouldn't work with any of my non-IBM keyboards, but did with an *old" Dell keyboard I borrowed. Of the mini keyboards, I found the Cherry G84-4100 (PS2 type, not USB) to work OK.

Not only the 16700. My 16500C doesn't work with a newer IBM keyboard with trackpoint. I had to use a separate mouse and keyboard (HP branded, but new) in it.

So I quickly found a new one on ebay for a very reasonable US $35 and $10 priority shipping, and just tried it out.

It works very well on my HP 16700A. I'm very happy with the overall quality, construction, look and feel, etc of the G84-4100.

No connection outside of a happy customer:



This guy has plenty of brand new in the box keyboards.

These keyboards are easily twice the price from a standard reseller and they might not have the regular PS/2 only version available.

Thanks for the help.
