Hey,
My keyboard which I just got (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Commodore_KPQ-E99YC (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Commodore_KPQ-E99YC)) doesn't work on my computer. It has an AT/XT switch underneath and I have set it to AT, however when i connect it nothing happens. When I switch it to XT the capslock numlock lights are turned on. Could it be some driver issues?
EDIT: To clarify, the interface is PS2, however the model number is the same. It's a compaq keyboard which is manufactured in 1992 and the model number is KPQ-E99YC
Thanks in advance

Are you using an active PS/2 adaptor?

Well the interface is PS2, its a different keyboard but the model name is the same.

I'm assuming you're connecting it to your computer through usb, in which case you would need something like this (https://sewelldirect.com/Active-USB-to-PS2-Adapter.asp?gclid=Cj0KEQiA8rilBRDZu_G8hszXraoBEiQABlB9Y3W4Q8PGq46t0emQAKGPdFVLbb5gM8635UbQE4jhDlkaAn_O8P8HAQ)

Hey,
My mobo does have a PS/2 keyboard connector in the rear IO. And the keyboard itself has a PS2 connector. SO why can't I just connect the keyboard to the PS/2 port?
