How the Hell does one access the BIOS with a USB keyboard !
The drivers for the USB devices don't install until after the boot screen! so I have not got a hope in hells chance of pressing the F1 key in time.... Andy |
ha... that's a good one! never thought about that before!!!
actually, it "should" recognise the USB device as it will come under "usb-legacy" device which in theory dont need any drivers to be install to use it. |
mine works fine and dandy on both this and my shuttle, logitech and trust usb jobbies, you can get ps2 usb convertors though if that'll help.
Si Ps i think there's a bit in bios for usb keyboards now a days (obviously you'll need a standard ps2 to start with) |
Right ! had a root through my Cables and plugs drawer :eek:
came up with this :D http://home.clara.net/andy.c/usbtops2.jpg Only trouble is it's a USB MOUSE to PS2. are they internally wired differently to the keyboard ones ? as it don't work ! :( |
after all that, settings I wanted to change within BIOS I am not able to ! :( perhaps an update required.
Phoenix bios dated 2000 ! |
lol
|
There is a setting in most BIOS' for this, I found that I needed to do this also when running Norton Ghost (DOS based Cloning Program), on my P4C800 its definately got it anyway, of course I needed to plug back in my PS/2 keyboard in order to switch it on!!!

It gets better,
cracked open the case to find the MO board type. ASUS A7-VM looked on the asus website for updates...and no listing for that MOBO :( oh well. |
sounds like either an A7M - Ali chipset I believe or an A7V - via KT266/300 based board. think that one has CMI 8373 chipset
|
any way to tell ?
It's running an athlon 1.1ghz @133mhz Andy |
case off again :rolleyes:
7VMH2 1.02 LCK3 Looks like I could'nt read in the dark last night either ! MOBO = A7V-VM edit to add the above [Edited by Fuzz - 7/27/2003 1:53:53 PM] |
hmmm... i think better just to get a ps/2 keyboard :)
|
unplug USB mouse and it works :confused:
I don't think I'll adjust anything yet as a few other problems are cropping up !! see other threads. Cheers anyway |
