NEC FDA-5101 keyboard buttons

[jenshinefiery]

ok, i have the keyboard working like a regular keyboard, but how do i get these other buttons (ie., email, internet, shortcut) to work?

Check out the NEC site for a driver for it (or another company if it is a rebranded product).
As an example, Microsoft keyboards use IntelliType from

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/keyboard

for their buttons so it is probably something very similar.

how did u get this koeyboard working? i couldn`t find ANY working driver for it.....

i got a cd with it of nec drivers. i've installed whatever was on there, but those buttons still aren't doing anything. i've looked online (nec doesn't have ANYTHING for this it seems) but none of those that i found worked either. i wonder where else i should look for drivers...

You don't say which OS you have, but there is a Win95/98 driver available from:

may u take a look for the driver installed by windows? i guess you`ll find it in system/hardware/keyboard-device...
...and please, would you send them to me? -> yumade@gmx.net
i would be very very pleased....
by the way, i found these tools for the fk51 keyboard (real name by the developer from china, called forward)
the first one is the original software for NEC keyboards inclusive the fda-5101, the second one is also for waytech keyboards. the reg-file from the second one integrates 16 magicc keys, the number of keys the fda5101 offers, so i guess it should work...please try it and tell me if it works...
