Changing the scancode set of a PS/2 keyboard
If a key is pressed on the PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard processor sends a data packet
that is called scancode. There are two common scancode sets (sets 2 and 3) that con-
tain different scancodes.
In the standard configuration the DVIVision system interprets all inputs of a PS/2
keyboard with the scancode set 2.
If the pipe (“|”) cannot be input or if the arrow keys of the keyboard do not function
as expected, it is recommended to switch to scancode set 3.
