Can I install a PCI video card (frame buffer) in my AC200 and use a
USB keyboard? How would I determine which PCI cards would work?
Can a keyboard be directly connected to a T100 or 105?
According to
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Netra_T1_AC200_shared/spec.html
you should be able to: the machine already has USB ports and you have
one PCI slot.
Now the question is to find a suitable PCI video card.
Thanks, but what about the 105 which doesn't have USB?
Well -- I don't have a Netra, but FWIW, I have put a cheap quad
USB 2.0 PCI card into my Ultra-60, and it is allowing me to use a
Logitech optical trackball in place of the mouse. I haven't tried
plugging in a USB keyboard, because I am quite happy with the Sun
keyboards. This is with Solaris 10 U3 installed.
FWIW The quad USB card came from Microcenter (I just got a second
one for another U60 today). The box claims that it was packaged
by StarTech.com, and the model number is "PCI425USB".
Enjoy,
DoN.
