Hi,
Windows decided today i can't use my ps/2 keyboard.
My dad pulled out an old sun USB keyboard he had lying around.
I was wondering if their were any drivers that would get the
function buttons to work
On the bottom it says "Type 6 USB".
if you can direct me to a good keymapper that will detect
them that will be ok too.
Thanks... =)
I doubt that a new keymap is all that is required to use the special keys of the Sun Keyboard with Window XP.
I did a quick search with google ("Sun keyboard" +Windows) and got a bunch of links that may help.

The following page contains the keycodes (for X-Windows) for these special keys.

If you just want an inexpensive keyboard for your PC, buy a new one.

I just purchased a used Type 6 keyboard, & I'd also like to know if there is a driver to get all of the keys to work properly. I went to driversguide .com to see if they had the drivers, but I wasn't able to find any there. Please contact me concerning this issue. If there are no drivers then tht's okay, but it would be nice to be able to use all available keys.
