Keyboard

[sapphire125]

Hi
Does anybody know how to make a PC boot without having a keyboard attached, I was thinking there might be a way using a PS2 plug wired as a dummy but cannot find any information about this.

I would like to be able to run a PC without a keyboard and mouse (to save space) and use software to connect to it and use it.

The reason for the problem is that BIOS sends a query to the keyboard to find out what kind is attached.
You could probably do the world a favor and build a microprocessor based plug in replacement. Yours is not the first request.
Or you could decompile the BIOS and recompile and burn one without the keyboard check. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.

Hi,

Go to your BIOS settings. There is usually a setting for HALTING when the computer finds a problem.

In some (if not all) this can be set to ALWAYS, NEVER or some other condition.

Set this to never and you should be able to boot without a Keyboard.

Any Help, Yes/No let me know

Regards
