16700B mouse and keyboard compatibility
|
I just tried to update from an ancient logitech ps/2 mouse with ball to a new ps/2 laser mouse. My 16700B didn't recognize it.
Same result with a new compact keyboard. My old one, that dates from around 1990, works fine. Both are native ps/2 devices and work on windows machines with ps/2 interfaces. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Ed |

?I use a Logitech M-BD58 mouse on my 16700A without any problems.? This is an older optical mouse with a USB-PS/2 adapter on the end.? I do recall reading that some keyboards and mice did not work do to the absence of some pullups on the 16700 PS/2 ports, but I am no longer sure where I saw that.? My keyboard is an ancient compact keyboard from a Compaq portable 486. Paul. |

There are even unpopulated pads for them directly behind the connectors. (see image) All that I had to do was add 1k resistors in the four locations and the unit recognized an old el-cheapo PS/2 mouse and keyboard. (As expected, a USB mouse or KB thru a PS/2 adapter did not work.) --------------------- -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA |

As I remember there is a specific manufacture of keyboard and mouse that the 1600 wants. The rest of the world'ss key/mice are??not recognized.

I hunted through my box of old keyboards until I found on that worked, but someday I might still need this. Now id someone could just solve the recent JAVA security update incompatibility that would be great (recent JAVA does not work with the remote browser interface, refuses to connect to the analyzer). |

I turned out that hp16702 will complain (and stop) during boot if the mouse is not connected even that its window manager is configured for remote session (vnc) so i keep the mouse in the pouch bag all the time however mouse must be connected. I know nothing about keyboard. Didn't have any need/interest in using aux keyboards. the mt111 is ball, 3-buttons + wheel mouse and seems it is not available anymore. -- Krzysztof Blaszkowski |
