Has anyone out there adapted a Type4 keyboard to a Sun3? I have a perfectly adequate 3/50-4.1.1 (adequate because it didn't cost anything and it works :-): 12M memory, 2x327M disk, QIC-24, and a nice modem). But after getting used to the Type4 device, I find the older model a minor pain. Since I have access to a number of Type4s left over from 386i to IPC upgrades, I'd really like to give my fingers a break if it's possible. Any experience with this out there? Thanks in advance, I'll summarize replies to anyone interested. -- ............................................... Jeff Aldrich <aldrich@cats.com> Systems/Network Manager C*ATS Software, Inc.

My 3/60, purchased new and showing Apr/90 date of mfg, came with a type 4 keyboard. The docs stated that the dip switch #1 should be set 'on' for SunOS 3.5 on a Sun 3 and 'off' for SunOS 4.0 or later. For Sun 386i and Sun4 machines, switch 1 should be 'off'. The LED's will only work with SunOS 4.1 or later. There should be no other problems, except you may need to change the key mapping if your applications are specific for the old style keyboard. -- Jim Adams Department of Physiology and Biophysics adams@ucunix.san.uc.edu University of Cincinnati College of Medicine "I like the symbol visually, plus it will confuse people." ...
