| Question about IPAC keyboard passthrough port |
| (1/2) > >> |
| 2PacMan:
Just a quick question about the IPAC. Why does it have that keyboard passthrough port on it? I just have my keyboard plugged into the regular port on the computer with my IPAC plugged into the USB port and both appear to be working fine. Am i missing something? Why would you plug the keyboard into the IPAC?? |
| JoyMonkey:
I use DOS, and AFAIK the IPac won't work in DOS with a USB connection (maybe it works with more recent motherbaords that recognize USB keyboards, but that's not me) so it's easier for me to avoid USB and use the keyboard passthrough. |
| eggedd2k:
it's for a pure ps2 setup - i.e. no usb ipac and no usb keyboard |
| 2PacMan:
Oh, i see now...ok, thanks! |
| Veinman:
Is it safe to assume that my IPAC ps/2 would play nicely alongside a USB keyboard? Just to clarify, I want to make the standard ps/2 connection with my IPAC, but instead of plugging another ps/2 keyboard into the pass-through, I want to hook up a USB keyboard. |
