Jumper 3

Use this jumper to select the type of PC with which the KE18 will be 
used. 

With  this  jumper  removed  (the  most  commonly  used  setting),  the 
KE18 operates in the PS/2 “AT” mode, compatible with Pentium and 
X86 computers.

When this jumper is in place, the KE18 will operate as a PCXT type 
keyboard. This mode allows for compatibility with early PCs and PCXT 
based single board computers.
