Title: PCKey 1200 problems
Post by: steve30 on July 27, 2013, 03:57:08 PM

I have a couple of PCKey 1200 adaptors which both exhibit a problem. After I've typed a few words, it keeps repeating a letter and its pretty much impossible to get it to stop. If I keep typing, then the repeated letter may change.

Only way I've found to stop this is to reset the machine.

Any idea for why this happens?

Thanks

Which keyboard are you using?
I had a similar problem when using an A2000 keyboard, it went away when I switched to an A3000 keyboard.

Its a generic 1990s style AT keyboard.

I misplaced my AT to PS/2 adaptor, but when I find it, I'll try some other boards.

I have a bit of a shortage of working keyboard here. I got loads of faulty keyboards and only a few good ones :D.

I found my AT to PS/2 adaptor and connected up my Cherry keyboard via a USB to PS/2 adaptor. I'm pleased to report it worked perfectly. So, it seems like it is definitely a keyboard issue. Strange.
