The keyboards used on Indigos and Personal IRIS
machines are custom
keyboards -- you need the right one. They use custom 3-button mice as
well, which plug into the keyboard. The Indigo versions use a 6-pin
miniDIN connector which looks like a PS/2 connector, but the pinout,
voltages, and protocols are completely different. Indys and later machines
use a
standard PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. A good source is Greg Douglas at
Reputable Systems:
Oops, you're right of course. The Indigos use keyboards that only pretend
to be PS/2 compatible. My R4400 Indigo does not use an actual PS/2
keyboard. I thought it did, but double-checking reveals my mistake.
Sorry for the mis-information.
