Title: Help Needed Identifying a Keyboard Encoder
Post by: strydyr on October 09, 2016, 10:43:37 pm
I purchased a used cocktail cabinet with two of these PS2 encoders.  I haven't been able to identify them, or figure out how to program them.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

The text on the chip is:
    CY7C63513-PVC
    C  02  PHI  0405
    CYP605362

Thanks!

Looks like a mini PAC from Ultimarc.

Welcome aboard, Strydyr.   ;D

Here are some diagrams and pinouts that you may find useful.   :cheers:

Looks like your encoders are really old Mini-Pacs, before the USB and ALT-Rom jumpers were added, but I think the rest of the info should be good.

Thank you both!

I guess these aren't programmable... am I correct in thinking that they should be sending keystrokes without additional software?  If I open notepad and go through all of the buttons on the cabinet, no characters appear.

The only encoder I've had first-hand experience with is the Hagstrom KE72, and these obviously were built with a different goal in mind.

I'm feeling a bit foolish... it looks like the problem was with the PS2 port on the computer.

The identification and diagram are extremely helpful, though.

Thanks again!
