Anyone have any experience with 3tronics.com keyboard encoders?
Dragonman73:
Anyone have any experience with this product? I'm having issues getting the computer to recognize this card at boot up.
Right now if I have it hooked up according to the directions (supplied ps/2 cable and keyboard pass through) the computer will not recognize the card and throw an error sound..more of a long beep....and goes away if I unplug the card. ??? It actually said "no keyboard present" until I disabled it in the bios.
Now if I plug the ps/2 keyboard in and let the computer boot naturally into the front end, then hook up the encoder after everything boots up.........it will work until I shut the computer down again. Then I have to unhook it and start over.
It's strange because I expected the PC to see it as a "keyboard" during boot and let it start straight into the front end and never touch a keyboard. :-[ I thought this would be easier to mess with than usb.
My system specs are as follwed:
Dell GX60
512mb ddr ram
Windows XP Pro
Atomic FE Front end w/ MAME

30 views and no one has any experience with these?
I bought five of these :cry:

I'm guessing that no one has replied because no one has used them. It's the first time I have heard of them at least.
Is there any reason you bought five of these at $45 a pop when you could have bought GGGs Key-Wiz 40's or Ultimarc IPAC2's for less?
Both of those encoders are the 'forum standard' and are what most people use with no issues. Both of the vendors also provide excellent tech support if you have any problems.

Actually he's selling them on eBay for $21 each + shipping. Thats where I got them. I bought four 24 input and one 48 input.
I ordered some ps/2 to usb adapters and going to try that by leaving the keyboard plugged into the ps/2 port and hopefully the pc will recognize the card through usb after it boots up.

Why aren't you hollering at him for customer support?
