HP 16700 series are known to be very picky about keyboards. If you use a ps2 Hp or IBM-M
keyboard it should work fine.

Onderwerp: Somewhat OT. 16702B Logic Analyzer Woes
Hi Folks,
It's only somewhat OT, because I really want to use this thing to fix a
floppy controller (Northstar hard sectored all discrete logic type
controller) in a classic computer :) Anyhow... I'm having issues with a
(new to me) Agilent 16702B Logic Analyzer mainframe and this seems like the
best place I can think of to ask.. It seems to work fine except the PS2
keyboard and mouse don't work quite right.
Well, actually, the mouse does work -- if I use a Logitech USB mouse with a
USB/PS2 adapter, it works fine. Any "real" PS2 mouse I own doesn't respond
at all -- though the LED in the mouse is on. A Microsoft USB mouse with the
USB/PS2 adapter doesn't work either. Seems strange.
The keyboard on the other hand doesn't seem to work at all. The three LEDs
(num lock, caps lock, scroll lock) blink during boot (like they're supposed
to) and there are no warnings or errors I can see reported during boot, but
the keyboard is totally dead. I've tried several keyboards, on one of them,
the lights don't blink either. Even on the ones that blink, pressing keys
during boot (to interrupt the boot process) has no effect.
All mice and keyboards work (of course) on a PC.
Any ideas on where to look? Or where to find good servicing information?
Thanks,
Pat
