Joe has obviously never attempted to find an Indigo keyboard on eBay! :P
I ended up buying one of these convertors because the keyboards either
don't come up, or they go for some $60 :P

Hi,
Has anyone successfully built one of the PS/2 -> Indigo adapters off of
the following page?
http://rshockley.dyndns.org/indigo.htm
I'm having a devil of a time getting the mouse portion of things to
work.
When I hook my scope up to the clock and/or data PS/2 lines, I see no
data being received from the mouse.
I'm wondering if the mouse init code is not liking any of the PS/2 mice
I've got around. (I've tried 4 different ones.)
If you've got one working, what sort of mouse do you have?
I freely admit, I'm not a PIC expert, as this is my first project w/
them. :-> So any clue's anyone cares to beat me about the head and
shoulders w/ will be appreciated.
I do know the PIC's are "running", as the dozen test program I wrote
toggles the pins on PortA, and the keyboard side of things appears to be
working. I'm also pretty certain that my config word is right,
particularly external oscillator, and watchdog timer is off.
Anyone got one working? Or do I get to experience the joy's of reverse
engineering the code?
Thanks,
David
