New Features in Upgraded KE72 Firmware

[MannyTC]

For those of you who asked what the new firmware added, here are the new features from the manual. Some of you may have already have had some of these features but my old KE72 didn't. I am excited that you can change reverse the X-Y axis on the trackball interface and change the PS2 resolution all through software. In addition the newest 2000/XP version of KE72load.exe that they sent me works great in XP through the serial port with no problems
Can't wait to try out the new LED header on mine tonight.

         Special Programming Options for the KE72 and KE72-T

The KE72 has several programming options that provide some advanced
features in the way inputs react and how the trackball interface is
treated in the model KE72-T.

Input Preload Option -  Use this option with both the KE72 and KE72-T.
                        Invoke this setting with the following command
                        in your configuration file.

PREL:Y

This "Preload" option causes the KE72 to ignore any switches that are
already "on" during power on or reset. Having inputs "on" at power up may
cause keyboard error messages on some PCs. With this option set, the input
is ignored until it has been turned "off", and will operate as usual after
that point. This setting is useful if you have toggle switches or other
inputs that may be on during power up.

Note that not specifying a setting for this option is the same as
stating the option as PREL:N

------

Trackball X Direction Reversal -  The reported direction of the X axis
                        of the trackball input in the model KE72-T may
                        be reversed using the following command.

REVX:Y

This option, when set, will reverse the direction of the X axis data
when reported to the PS2 mouse port.  Use this option if the left-right
movement of your trackball device operates in reverse to the default
direction.

Note that not specifying a setting for this option is the same as
stating the option as REVX:N

------

Trackball Y Direction Reversal -  The reported direction of the Y axis
                        of the trackball input in the model KE72-T may
                        be reversed using the following command.

REVY:Y

This option, when set, will reverse the direction of the Y axis data
when reported to the PS2 mouse port.  Use this option if the up-down
movement of your trackball device operates in reverse to the default
direction.

Note that not specifying a setting for this option is the same as
stating the option as REVY:N

------

PS2 Mouse Resolution Setting -  The resolution that the KE72-T reports
                        to the PC may be set to a specific value with
                        the following command.

MSET:n          (Where n = value of 0, 1, 2, or 3)

The trackball portion of the KE72-T operates as a standard PS2 mouse
device.  PS2 mouse drivers have provisions to adjust a variable on
the mouse, referred to as resolution.  The WIN9x generic drivers may
not set the resolution on the KE72-T to give the amount of movement
per resolution that the user may require for his particular trackball
device.  Use this setting to override the resolution setting being
commanded from the PC.

Setting 0   =   Lowest resolution  (least amount of movement per input)
Setting 1   =
Setting 2   =
Setting 3   =   Highest resolution (Most amount of movement per input)

Note that when this MSET programming option is not used, the resolution may
be adjusted through the PS2 mouse driver.
