Ultra 2 creator 3d with type 6 keyboard

Hi there,
I have an old ultra 2 I want to install on with a type 6 keyboard. It seem to recognize the keyboard however when I try to hit stop to get into open boot it just continues on its merry way and tries to net boot, of course this fails...
How do I get it to let me into open boot? Do I need an older type 5 keyboard?
Thanks

Hello Ken,
the type 6 keyboard should work with the Ultra 2.
Did you press STOP and the A key simultaneously ?
When you review the banner, is the keyboard detected ?
Check if any of the keyboard plug pins are bent.
Did this (and haroldb's simultaneous response) answer your question ?

  • SUN ULTRA 5 type 5 keyboard and mouse

    Hi.
    I have some questions about old SUN TYPE 5 keyboard and mouse.
    I have got an very old ULTRA 5 machine just for little "playing" with just such type of keyboard and mouse ( SUN type 5).
    I am wondering , if this input devices will fail, is it possible to get some other compatible type of keyboard and mouse for it ???
    I am not SUN specialist , so I dont know - is it also possible to use also SUN type 6 keyboard / mouse with my ULTRA 5 workstation??? The connector type seems similar like a PS/2 , but I think there is no way to use standard PC PS/2 keyboard/mouse with it , or is it ??? Whats the best solution , where to get ULTRA 5 compatible keyboard/mouse ? Thank you veyr much for your answer.

    Hello,
    a Type 5 keyboard (lacks the power-on key) and mouse might work. The preferred types are Type 5c or Type 6.
    Most OHCI compatible USB cards work (http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/products/hardware.html), but the USB keyboard and mouse aren't usable until the operating system (and USB driver) have been loaded (you have to configure keyboard and mouse manually).
    I would recommend that you get a Sun Type 5c or Type 6 keyboard/mouse from second hand e.g. eBay. They are not that expensive anymore.
    Another choice is to use the Ultra 5 via the serial console (text mode) and then use a X-Server to access the system (after installation of Solaris) via the network.

  • 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

  • Ultra 40 + Type 7 Keyboard & Windows XP?

    Hi, I have recently purchased Ultra 40 Workstation w/ Type 7 Keyboard and Mouse.
    Since I do see that Windows XP x64 is certified os for Ultra 40 Workstation and Type 7 keyboard comes in both Unix and Windows style, I have not yet been able to use extra keys on Windows XP.
    Is there any driver that make extra keys of Type 7 keyboard usable in Windows XP?
    I understand that Sun is Solaris company, but since Ultra 40 supports windows XP, I think it won't hurt to ask. :)
    Thanks.
    Sang

    The Unix style and the US/Windows style keyboard layouts have nothing to do
    with the extra Sun keys on the left of their keyboards.
    The different styles have different placements for a few of the 'normal' keys,
    such as: ESC, CapsLock, Backspace, left-CTRL, and a very few others.
    The layouts would be of interest to a touch-typist, perhaps, more than to anyone else.
    Solaris uses the special Sun keys.
    Windows never uses those keys.
    (... and I really, really miss ths cut/copy/paste keys when I'm using an OS other than Solaris-on-Sun)
    Glance at the layouts from the first two links at this 3rd party web site.

    Do you have a Japanese name?   If not, you would have to make one up to type it in Kanji.  What exactly are you trying to do?

    How you type something depends on what you have selected in settings > general > Keyboards.  In particular, you need to tap the language name of your keyboard setting and tell us what is checked under the Hardware list.

  • Firefox mobile doesn't allow to type national symbols with external usb keyboard.

    I'm using Asus PadFone with it's native keyboard dock-station. When I try enter text on any text field in web page my keyboard layout is set to english. This doesn't hapen when i write text in Firefox search/url field. Tested with Russian and Lithuanian keyboard layout - it makes no difference. I can write national symbols with on-screen keyboard.
    There is no such problems with other browsers, so it's something with Firefox.

    Sounds like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669361 tomorrow's Firefox nightly build may have a fix for it. You can try the build at http://nightly.mozilla.org

  • Type 7 keyboard

    I have a new Ultra 40 with a type 7 keyboard, running Redhat Linux Enterprise 4. I would like to map the "sun" keys to function just like they did on Solaris (copy, paste, front, etc.)
    Any ideas on how to do this?

    Just curious... I have the same exaact issue. Were you ever able to get it resolved? Sun Ultra-40, running RHEL4. I am stumped.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to buy a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard?

    Hello,
    I work at a University, we have a new researcher here that wants us to purchase a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard. For three weeks we have been unable to get anywhere. We have a University account manager, but she hasn't made any progress. We are willing to pay the retail price of a MacBook Pro in Sweden, we just can't get anyone to take our money.
    We can't be the only University in America that has a need for foreign language support.
    Thanks for listening.

    I work at a University, we have a new researcher here that wants us to purchase a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard.
    If you really must have a Swedish physical keyboard (which is not necessary for typing Swedish unless the person can't type without seeing what is on the keys), the place to look for one is

  • Key mapping question. (for mobile phones with PC-like keyboard)

    For phones with mini keyboard (one button per one character, like a PC keyboard).
    I'm trying to implement a form with few text boxes. The goal is to let user type the message like they're using a PC keyboard (unlike in traditional phones, where you need to press the 'numpad two' button three times in order to type the character 'C')
    I've successfully implemented this functionality. But it's an ugly implementation because I use a switch-cases for each and EVERY keycodes.
    Forexample:
    char inputChar;
    switch(keyCode)
    case 97: input = 'A' break;
    case 98: input = 'B' break;
    // go on until every keys are covered, including the lower case letters. T_T
    buffer.append(inputChar);
    Yes I know that my programming skill is real crap >_<, so I try google for some good implementation method. But I always found only the detail about the traditional numpad implementations.
    Ok, my real question is, can this keyboard implementation be done in a better way? The code should be able to look more beautiful than this, right?
    Thank you. =)

    I still don't get the problem here?
    A textbox in a form will work just fine with those mini keyboards. You don't need to do anything for it..
    Otherwise, this code can obviously be done better, a simple array where you just lookup your keycode will be much simpler and faster for instance.

  • Option Key for Boot Camp not working with New iMac Keyboard

    Hi, I own a early 2006 Intel iMac. Recently, my wife complained that the keyboard was getting dirty. Basically I think she liked the new keyboard on the new Aluminum iMac better. We purchased it back in August and everything worked great. Oh I also had the beta version of Boot Camp installed. Everything worked great, hold Option down on boot and could choose which OS to go into.
    Fast forward to now, purchased Leopard and love it! Decided to wipe the system and do a fresh install. Everything is installed (Leopard, Boot Camp, Windows XP) and working great, that is except when I press and hold the Option key at start up. If I have the new keyboard installed, the Option key does not bring up the boot manager. However if I plug the original keyboard in and hold Option, it works!!!
    Ok I could see a problem if the new keyboard was NOT an Apple product. But it is and frustraiting as I can use the control panel to choose. This is a long round about method and does not make a happy wife with me. HELP!
    Jhan Jensen

    Thanks for the info! I was about to call myself and I may still do so. I am hoping if Apple gets enough of these calls then maybe it will spur them on to get it done sooner. (Apple are you listening) I will do the same with the KB swapping, she will be happy at least she can still use the new keyboard. She types a lot and has be really happy with the new keyboard and its response.
    Thanks again for the help!!!

  • No function key with apple wireless keyboard

    I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have it working just fine with my macbook pro, and want to use keyboard special characters as a mouse because I'll be using my old laptop as a TV entertainment computer. The only problem is that the function key seems to not exist, which is crucial in order to use special keys as mouse movement keys. If I bring up the keyboard viewer and type with the wireless keyboard, the keyboard viewer shows the keyboard layout without a funciton key. I would expect something like this with a non-apple peripheral, but not a standard apple keyboard. What must be done to enable or have all of the keyboard's keys, function key in particular, recognized?
    BTW - I did apply the firmware update for the keyboard, but to no avail.
    OS X 10.5.8

  • I want to replace my dv7-6199us standard keyboard with a backlit keyboard?

    I need a backlit keyboard part number.
    Can I replace my dv7-6199us  standard keyboard with a backlit keyboard? I have looked in the dv7 "Maintenance and Service Guide" for the dv7 with no success. I found the same keyboard without backlight. I have noticed the backlit keyboards in dv7s made after mine but I don't know how to find the part number for that keyboard.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    The keyboard alone won't do the job. You need the motherboard on your machine has light CONNECTORS for the keyboard. I don't think your machine has this type of motherboard therefore you have to looking for a right montherboard first.

  • IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

    ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
    I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
    In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
    I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
    Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
    NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
    I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 !  I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
    well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
    I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with  this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
    What could I be doing wrong?? 
    Thanks.

    Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
    Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
    Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
    Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
    Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
    On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
    Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
    This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
    When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the  ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)
