IPAC and Wireless Keyboards
« on: February 06, 2003, 08:51:36 am »
This is going up in the IPAC forum too, but I thought someone here might have the answer as well.  How much power does the IPAC dissipate.  Will using the ps2 port to power both the ipac and a cordless keyboard overload the ps2 port?  I was considering one of those new RF keyboards so I wouldn't have to open my coindoor and drag out the keyboard for config changes.  Anyone use the cordless stuff with IPAC?

I use a wireless RF keyboard with a IPAC and have no problems at all.
My statements are my own opinions. They have the value that the reader gives them. My opinion of my opinion varies between foolish and brilliant and these opinions often change with new information.

Ditto w/ JPAC - no problems w/ my RF keyboard.   However, the JPAC is interfaced via USB.

I've got the same..

the IR receiver has 2 ps2 plugs (keyboard & mouse). The mouse one is going straight to the motherboard ps2, keyboard is goes into 1 side of the Ipac, and the Ipac is going to USB.

No power problems, although the keyboard itself has 4 AAAs in it.
