USB Keyboard/Mouse on AmigaOne
« on: September 28, 2008, 09:42:29 AM »
Hey,

I've used a PS2 keyboard/mouse on my AmigaOne (recently acquired), how do I use USB devices?  I have a nice Apple keyboard and mouse I wish to use, but just plugging them in doesn't seem to recognise them.

I assume it can be used with a USB keyboard/mouse?

any n00b friendly instructions appreciated.

Ah is there no option to use a USB keyboard to change then?  If it doesn't automatically use it, it won't see it in other words?

I am trying to use an Apple wired keyboard and mouse, but with no luck.  I have USB to PS2 convertors, but according to the guy in Maplin they only work with Mice and not keyboards, you need a special kind for a keyboard which are "quite hard to come by"?

I'm on OS 4.0

Turns out you have to go into the UBoot prefs in the Preferences folder and change the input from PS2 to USB.

Now another problem, the USB keyboard works fine on the UBoot options, but once Workbench loads it won't work anymore?

Any ideas?
