I have an HP Apollo 9000/735 with the infamous HIL
kbd/mouse port.
I've been running the thing headless since I got it because I can't
bring myself to pay the asking price for the "Localization Kits" out
there.
I have spare HIL mice and keyboards to fit this machine, if you want.
I've run across references to & pictures of
an adapter that converts
HP-HIL to 2 PS/2 ports. Does anyone have the pinouts/schematic for this
critter? Or have one they don't want?
Are you sure you're not thinking of the keyboard adapters for the
second-gen 700-series (like the 715/80, /64, /100, etc.)? You can't
connect a keyboard or mouse to those machines without the box, which
provides both HIL and PS/2 ports. These were a huge PITA to find for my
two 715/80s, and I think I ended up paying close to $80 apiece for them.
