Thanks MK and Pr0f.

Hi all,

I have another issue with this K/B interface in combination with SMSQ/E for GC.

Running the ABC interface with Minerva and the corresponding K/B driver works quite well, everything is fine.
Under SMSQ/E version 337 (also 335) the Keyboard works except the arrows keys. When pressing them the corresponding number (2,4,6,8) is displayed. These are really the arrow keys from the arrow key pad, not from the number keypad. Also Numlock (intentionally found something in the SMSQ/E manual) does not work, means I also can not use them to move the cursor.

Does someone has any idea about the reason?

Cheers,

Stephan

Very few people actually have these, I think you're the first one in many many years. And looking at the code, it seems that TT started to implemented the Numlock code but never actually finished it...

Oh, and as far as I know the XT keyboards that the interface supports didn't have dedicated arrow keys, so I guess your keyboard maps them to the number block when the XT protocol is used or whatever.

Thanks for the information Marcel.
It seems there is no quick fix for the issue
