Installing USB keyboard under Windows 98
When you first connect a USB device to your computer’s USB port, the system
will report “new device found” and ask you to point it at the location where the
drivers are stored. If you have the Windows 98 installation CDROM or have
copied the win98 folder from the CDROM to your hard drive, browse to that. If
you have previously installed a USB keyboard, you may be able to simply point
to your “windows” folder.
Once the system has located the driver, the remainder of the installation is
automated other than requiring that you click the mouse a few times. No driver
should be required to connect to a PS/2 port using the provided PS/2 adapter.
Installing keyboard under Windows 2000, Windows XP
When you first connect the keyboard to your computer’s USB port, the system
will report “new device found” and will automatically find and install the
necessary generic drivers. Within less than a minute, the system should indicate
the device is ready to use and your keyboard should be operational. After that,
you may disconnect and reconnect
your keyboard at any time.
Numlock status
As with most traditional keyboards, the Numlock key changes whether
numeric keypad keys generate the number actions (with the Numlock LED
on) or directional/editing actions (with the Numlock LED off). The Maxim
USB keyboard does not have a numeric keypad, and therefore it also lacks a
Numlock key. However, the Numlock LED reports on the Numlock status.
If you have a numeric keypad connected to your computer, you would need
to use the Numlock key on the keypad to change the Numlock status.. If you
wish to permanently change whether your PC boots with Numlock on or off,
you may accomplish this using the bios settings when your computer first
starts.
