Any one knows how to get an Intel CPU Pentium MB to bootup?
I am getting this error message: "Keyboard error or keyboard not present."
I am almost positive that the KB outlet is fine. This is how I arrived to
this sad situation:
In order to free a serial port, I move the MS Intellimouse to a PS2 port. It
was not recognized by Windows, so I removed the PS2 MB adapter, and plugged
it again. I believe that this caused the PS2 port to work, but I do not know
as I am unable to bootup the machine. I understand that PS2 bus ports need
a PS2 keyboard as well. Mine is PC AT keyboard and I have no PS2 Keyboard
adapters plugged to the MB. I wonder of it could be that the keyboard bios
now acts as if I had a PS2 keyboard.
So, trying to improve the situation, I pulled out the bios battery. Now, I
am also getting a CMOS error which, I hope, can be fixed when I manage to
boot up to CMOS level.
Removing the keyboard jumper on the MB did not help.
