I'm trying to find the origional white paper spec for the PS/2 port
google and yahoo have failed me so i'm hoping someone else might refer to these things reguarly and know where i can find a copy
i'm specificly trying to figure out if the PS/2 port spec specificly includes backwards compatability with the AT keyboard spec
I just (tried to) deploy)ed( 30 new slim terminals in a data entry centre, the terminals claim to be PS/2 complaint. however using the old IBM battleship AT keyboards with them (the employe's have said if they go away they will strike) has led to big issue's.
The keyboards have been varified on over 30 other systems and worked perfectly on all of them (using a normal AT->PS2 adapter).
On these new terminals they are acting eraticly, randomly adding in key strokes or missing some and acting like the shift/alt key was being presed even when it wasn't being touched
I thought that AT compatability was built into the PS2 spec. so if someone can prove me wrong or right i am going to be very gratefull
