PS/2 Keyboard Drivers

TheCybologist · 09-22-2003, 05:31 PM

Does anyone know of a PS/2 Driver for OS X.

Here is the thing. I have a Belikn USB KVM. It allows hot key switching through a PS/2 keyboard. It is a USB KVM so it connects to the Host computers through USB. PS/2 Keyboards were supposed to work in OS 9...but who care about 9..

.

Currently I am using a USB keyboard and mouse. The device is a hub too so it just passes them through to the mac. I use the little button on the front but would love to be able to use the hot key.

Any suggestions?

It should work without drivers, you may need to remap some keys though.
