Hi! does anyone have any HP-HIL mice?
Yeah, I have herds of them. Whattaya want, a round one, oblong one, two
buttons or three?
I recently got a keyboard for my
Vectra RS/25c, but now I need a mouse for it. Anyone
know what drivers I
can use for it?
Drivers? For what? If you mean for the mouse, you don't need one. Most
the HP_HIL devices should be recognized automaticly. A few like the ID
unit and sound stuff aren't but they're not intended to work on the Vectra
anyway.
Also - are there any drivers for the [HP-HIL] keyboard? There's some keys
on it that don't appear to do anything (such as "reset" and
"menu").
There's also some blank (programmable?) keys.
It's a standard keybaord that's used for many computers. The other keys
are used for the other systems. "Menu" turns the menu at the bottom of the
screen off and on on the 9000 series computers. "Reset" causes a 9000 to
abort the current program and reset the operating system (usually BASIc,
Pascal, etc).
When I boot, it says "keyboard connector not functioning" I'm assuming
this
is the 5-pin DIN AT connector, but when I hook a keyboard up to it, it won't
function correctly (F-keys and number pad won't work). The HP-HIL keyboard
works fine, but I get the error.
Yeah, I have a similar problem on my Vectra too, except I'm using a
standard PC keyboard and all the keys seem to work. I'm not sure what's
causing it but I'm hoping there may be something in setup that affects it.
I haven't looked for the setup disks yet but they're supposed to be
available on HP's website.
