Does your laptop provide support for a PS/2. What is the make and model?

If you didn't get a manual, then look in the laptop's Start Menu since most laptop mftr.'s put the manual on the hard drive. Failing that, go to the laptop mftr.'s tech support website for your specific model laptop. The manual will be there. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

I have looked at the manual on the hard drive, but can't find anything on
external keyboard installation/attachment. I'll try the tech support. Thank you. "Malke" wrote: new laptop user wrote: I have new laptop and a PS/2 ergoboard.

thank you, this is very helpful.
"NoNoBadDog!" wrote: "new laptop user" new laptop wrote in message ... I have new laptop and a PS/2 ergoboard. I cannot figure out where to plug keyboard into laptop. No current laptop supports PS/2. You might get away with using a PS/2 to USB gender changer, but it depends on the software/drivers for the motherboard whether this will work or not. Bobby
