I have an IBM model M2 here which when plugged in, the Num lock and
scroll lock leds go on, and the keyboard refuses to do anything. I
notice that SOMETIMES the Model M I have here does the same thing
(num+scroll on, no response) for a few seconds, and I'm GUESSING it
might be something like the 5v line can't supply enough current to run
it properly at startup, but it usually starts working after about 3 or 4
seconds; the M2 does not.
Any idea what causes this, or whether it is fixable?
