Sun Type 6 USB keyboard Driver

Hello,
We're using Exceed to allow PC users to connect to our Sun Blade 150's. Our design engineers want to use the sun keyboards they are used to (Sun Type 6 USB keyboards) including all the sun keys on the left of the keyboard. I'm trying to get a keyboard map built in Exceed to allow this to work but haven't been able to yet. I'm not sure that the PC is seeing any interupts or signals that are generated when the sun keys on the left are punched.
So to summarize, we have Sun Type 6 USB keyboards plugged into PC's. The PC's connect to Blade 150's using Exceed X Windows. The keyboards work fine except the sun keys on the left. I'm trying to get those keys to work.
Anyone tried this? Do I need a windows driver for the Sun keyboard? Anyone know of one?

Bug Report - Windows 8.0 - 6.0.1 USB arbitration causes USB keyboard driver failure

Can't find a place to submit a bug report. So here goes.
Full Error Message:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.
Problem Occurs:
Windows 8.0 x64
Vmware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776
Problem:
A USB keyboard ceases to function on the host operating system following the first host OS reboot after installing 6.0.1 on Windows 8.0. This issue does not occur with 6.0.0. The issue disappears upon uninstalling Player 6.0.1. Reinstallation allows Player to operate as expected, but issue re-appears after host OS reboot.
The issue happens immediately after host OS loads, and continues irrespective of whether VMWare Player is launched.
Looking at the keyboard drivers, the usb keyboard's driver has not loaded (see attached images). The built-in keyboard driver however reports no errors and continues to operate as usual.
Changing the USB keyboard device to that of a different manufacturer does not resolve the issue. Any USB keyboard driver appears to fail.
Work Around:
1) Launch msconfig
2) Disable VMWare USB arbitration service
3) Reboot
4) USB Keyboard works. VMWare Player continues to operate as normal, minus the ability to mount USB storage devices on the guest OS.

This issue was fixed on my PC as follows.
1) Taking ownership of the above usb*.sys files in the drivers folder
2) renaming them to usb*.sysold
3) Using Device Manager to uninstall all USB devices with the yellow warning ! next to them
4) Doing a Scan for Hardware changes via the Device Manager toolbar and then waiting a few moments whilst the USB devices are re-installed with signed drivers.
Hope this helps you....

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

Sun E3500 with USB Keyboard?

I've got a Sun E3500 server and have a Neuro-Logic RFT-17 Rackmount LCD Console that only has a USB connection. I know that this rackmount setup is MADE for Sun, as it is actually being sold by Sun. Are there converters to go from the Sun 8-pin layout to USB? Thanks!!

Hello,
you are using a Neuro-Logic RFT-17, which is "just" a LCD display and a keyboard that fits into a rack.
Please don't get me wrong, but did you even thought about contacting Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. ?
http://www.neuro-logic.com/1u.htm
According to their FAQ, two (keyboard) options for Sun are available: USB or 8-pin serial.
http://www.neuro-logic.com/1ufaq.htm#6
The User's manual isn't available for download (links returns to the same page !!!), but this is from the data sheet: "USB and Sun Serial connectors".
Using an add-in USB board (are there any for S-Bus ???) won't help to solve the issue. The OBP only supports "standard" Sun keyboards with Mini-DIN connector (this is what NLS calls 8-pin serial).
If the RFT-17 isn't equipped with USB and Mini-DIN keyboard you can take the KVM "route".
Despite the fact that a Sun server doesn't require a directly attached keyboard/monitor, these systems are managed thru network or (serial) console/management port (console server for multiple systems and capturing the console logs), you can extend your installation with an expensive (Sun certified) KVM that offers adapters for USB and Mini-DIN attached keyboards.

U45 USB keyboard problems

I'm having an U45 which shows some serious problems with the attached Sun Type 7 USB keyboard. Every now and when (like 30s or so) whilst typing the keyboard seems to hang and then shows the typed in keys in wrong order or even duplicates the keys several timeees like tihhhs.
I already have replaced the keyboard but this didn't help at all!

A couple of things come to mind.
But first, are there any entries related to USB in your /ver/adm/messages file?
You need to look there.
If there has been accidental damage to the USB ports and their connections to the systemboard, you could be looking at an expensive repair. I suppose you could experiment with adding a powered USB hub in between the system and the keyboard so as to compensate for any inadequacies of where you're attaching that keyboard. It will need to be the sort of hub that has its own AC-to-DC power source and not just be a passive peripheral. (I bought one at Walmart a couple of years ago for $15.)
However what I actually suspect is that your system is far down-rev on its OBP firmware level. There are a [number of USB related issues from 2006|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=PATCH&type=collections&queryKey5=124409&toDocument=yes] noted in the README files of the older OBP patches.
Those OBP patches are cumulative, so if you just [get the latest one|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=PATCH&type=collections&queryKey5=142703&toDocument=yes] you will have all the previous ones rolled into it.

How to configure a Sun Type 7 Keyboard (Solaris 10 11/06)

Hi.
I bought a Sun Type 7 (UNIX) keyboard. I plugged it in and configured Xorg's kbd driver to use this kind of keyboard. The problem is that some keys, such as the 3 volume keys, the sleep key, the composite key, doesn't appear to work. In the official documentation there's no other installation hint but "to plug it in".
Has anyone any experience configuring this keyboard?
Thanks again,
Enrico.

hello.
Just do this:
eeprom kbd-type=Frenchafter reboot.Hello,
"eeprom" is fine on a SPARC box, but how do I do this on a x86 box ?
TIA.

I need to install a keyboard driver without a keyboard

I need to install a USB keyboard driver on my Mac Mini without a keyboard (my USB mouse works fine, and my original keyboard is 1000 miles away). I have only one USB keyboard in this house but the driver to make it work with OS X is on the Logitech website, which I have downloaded onto a CD. I can run the driver installation program by using the mouse, but OS X demands that I provide the system password with the keyboard in order to install the keyboard driver. That's a catch-22. MY QUESTION: is there a program that I can download for Mac OS X that will let me enter keystrokes using the mouse?

MY QUESTION: is there a program that I can download for
Mac OS X that will let me enter keystrokes using the mouse?
No download needed, but this is going to be painful. FontBook will do what you want.
Fire up FontBook by browsing using the mouse to the Applications folder.
Under the Edit menu, choose "Special Characters". A Character Palette will appear. View Code Tables so that you get the full set of fonts. Basic Latin (the first set) would be best so that you don't get into unicode issues. At this point you've got two choices:
(1) it appears that the character palette works on whatever program is in the foreground. So you could click on whatever program's window you want to type keys into, double click on the appropriate character in the character palatte and it will insert (or select the character, click the Insert button).
(2) if you aren't a perfect "typist" (clicker), you might want to insert whatever characters you want to type into a TextEdit document, copy (drag select, choose copy from the Edit menu), change to whatever program you want to provide keys for, paste. But certain programs (login windows, etc.) may not let you use a menu choice for paste.
Painful, but it can be done.

Solaris 10 x86 b63 USB keyboard issue

Hello. I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on a Dell Optiplex SX280. The system uses a USB keyboard and mouse. When asked as to the type of installation to perform (1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only), I select 1, then the system start booting and the following messages are displayed:
Configuring devices.
Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information
ioctl (kbd type): Invalid argument
and hangs at this point. The keyboard stops responding so that a power cycle is the only option. Obviously the keyboard is recognized for me to select option 1 above but something happens after that. Any ideas? Thanks.

At the "1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only" prompt the BIOS handles the keyboard. This is before the
Solaris kernel is loaded.
After the Solaris kernel is booted, either the Solaris PS/2 keyboard driver or the USB keyboard driver has
to handle the system's keyboard. For your system it's apparently the USB keyboard driver.
I'm not sure what's wrong with this system. You could try to boot into single user mode with verbose
kernel messages enabled. At the "1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only" prompt, type
b -vsAre there any (error) messages from Solaris' usb kernel modules? Look for messages from the modules
"ohci", "uhci" or "ehci". ehci is for USB 2.0, while ohci & uhci are for USB 1.1 devices. I guess your
USB keyboard is an USB 1.x device, so you need either a working "ohci" or "uhci" driver for the USB
port where your keyboard is attached.

I need a way to get usb thumb-drive securely recognized as a apple keyboard

I posted this question over at Developer Discussions also, just to get more eyes on it, not to be disruptive.
So, I would like to utilize a maximum-length Admin. password (255 characters?) without having to manually type it in each time I login, install/update software, or for any other reason. The perfect situation would be some type of script or software installation onto a USB pen drive (2 gig sony)which is inserted into the macbook (via usb) when the Leopard Login screen appears. It logs me in, then, afterwards, it creates a clickable icon on the desktop that achieves the same goal (entering a long admin password securely). And all of the above is achieved using the built-in security of Keychain access, without having to continuously mount and unmount the drive.
Searching google produces many expensive products that do not fit: Securikey, omnikey, smart cards, tokends, and on and on. They seem to have figured this out at microsoft - not that it matters much, except that it appears to be possible.
One problem is that a USB thumb drive is not mounted until after login, it seems, but, I plugged in a friend's usb apple keyboard from the year 2000 and was able to type in my password at login. And, an email reply elsewhere suggested writing a daemon (that constantly runs in the background of the operating system) that could recognize the drive and accept a script from it that inputs the password and executes the 'enter' command.
I don't know how to write daemons yet, but I can stumble around a bit with bash and applescripts, and I can copy any Xcode project out of a book and make it run properly. I'm a beginner.
This project might create security issues for my operating system, but I'm really not concerned about that because this is a computer I don't rely on and can safely perform experiments on. And I would like to use this as an opportunity to learn - so I'm going to give it a whirl anyway - unless someone has already accomplished something similar. In that case, why reinvent the wheel and plug it into the wall, eh?
Basically I am asking for help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need to get deep into programming to do much of this.
launchd, the background process that's responsible for launching most of the background processes on your machine, has the ability to launch a script based on disk mount events.
StartOnMount <boolean>
This optional key causes the job to be started every time a filesystem is
mounted.
So you could create a LaunchDaemon script that watches for a disk mount. When a disk is inserted your script is fired off. You'd need to perform some verification to ensure the disk is, indeed, your USB stick and not some other device, then it can trigger the rest of the login process. Off hand I'd look to osascript to run an AppleScript-based keystroke, but there may be other ways, too.
One big question relates to securing your password. Clearly you can't store it in the script, so you'd have to read it from somewhere. You also can't store it on the USB stick unless you somehow encrypt it (otherwise someone can just look at the files on the USB stick and get your password), but AppleScript can use the keychain, too, although I'm not sure what keys would be available prior to login, so it requires some experimentation.

Sun Type 7 keyboard hangs on Ultra 24

Hello,
recently I hooked up a new Sun Ultra 24 system running Solaris 10/08.
An original Sun Type 7 keyboard including Sun mouse is connected to the computer.
Every once a while the keyboard gets disconnected so I have to replug the USB. As far as I am concerned no log entry is produced.
Has somebody an idea how to exclude a hardware issue? If the keyboard is connected to an iMac I noticed no problems.
Many thanks in advance!

i am also having that same problem, the keyboard ends in -03. i've gone back and forth with sun, no resolution. i'm getting sun to bring a FE onsite so they can have fun with it. i have used update 5, 6 and 7. still nothing, i can use an install disk and go to command line but that's it. sun has yet to inform me that's a problem with this keyboard type on ultra 24.
i'll send any updates

Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
What else would I need? Please advise...

Yes for keyboard and mouse.
The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

Advice on allowing specific file types to be written to USB flash drive

We currently have all of the Removable Storage Access policies enabled (Computer Config > Policies > Admin Templates > System/Removable Storage Access) and would like to know if it is possible to allow specific file types to be exempted from this
policy. Specifically we need to allow certain users to write to USB flash drive but need to limit to MS Office files only. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Third party products can do that. GPO cannot.
