Hey everyone,
I just got a Northgate Omnikey 102 in the mail. I bought it on eBay for around ~$45. The problem is I can't seem to get it to work with either a Soarer's PS/2 adapter or a TMK PS/2 adapter, both flashed onto a Pro Micro.
Every time I plug in the board, the lock lights flash for a second then go off (which I think is to be expected, since it happens on my Model M as well). However, once plugged in, the board only recognizes the lock keys (i.e. I hit Caps Lock and the respective light on the keyboard lights up).
I saw someone else with this same problem here:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82820.msg2241405#msg2241405. I, too, have fiddled with all the DIP switches listed in the manual for different host configurations to no avail.
At this point I'm wondering if the board is dead (unlikely I guess because at least some response is being generated), or if my converters are incompatible with the board (also seems unlikely considering I've put the board into AT, XT, and other modes).
I was wondering if anyone had gotten their Omnikeys (regardless of specific model) to work with a Soarer's/TMK converter. If there is another ProMicro/Teensy based converter I could try, I would definitely try that, but I haven't found any. Or maybe I just need to buy a different/new converter on Amazon.
Thanks in advance for your help!
