i hate to tell you, but that style of keyboard connector was already outdated in 1999 or 2000. i built my first PC in the spring of 2000, and ps2 keyboards were the standard at that point in time...that has to be a 486 or early pentium class PC, which is not going to do you much good. judging by the pic, i'll guesss under 100mhz and probably 32mb of ram. |

Wow thats old skool Use to work in a shop selling pc parts in 2000/1. never sold a motherboard with that connector(before ATX Standard, think its called AT) but used to sell hundreds of the adapters because you could no longer buy those keyboards. Why not just use a USB keyboard/mouse? Back when that was alive it was all serial mouses lol Definitely pentium 2 at best i would imagine |
| severdhed:
i'm sure that an AT system like that will not support usb keyboard and mouse at the bios level. and since it cannot detect the keybaord, it will not boot |
| bkenobi:
If you could get into the bios, you could disable halt on keyboard error. BUT, you don't have a keyboard to change the setting. So, you need an AT keyboard to turn off the error so you don't need an AT keyboard. Get it! :cheers: |

I have about 5 of those style key boards. in my attic. MAME is not the only EMU out there. I am trying to think of the Old Arcade EMU I used (Vertical games mostly) That old PC should run just fine. Callus is one that comes to mind. Vantage is the one I was thinking of. Both use mame roms (56 or less I know work) |
