Resuming. Sorry for the delay. So goes life.
Next. Recall that I could not run the DataHand and a flat keyboard on my Window machine. I concluded then that Windows 10 code did not like two different keyboards. Now I wonder if I just had the two PS/2 lines reveresed; or if that blockage came from the stacking of adapters, or both?
Are you using a ps/2 to USB adapter? Or plugging directly into PS/2 on the computer? I seem to recall that PS/2 isn't particularly hot-plug friendly. e.g. if the computer doesn't boot up with a PS/2 connected, it may not detect one plugged in after the fact. It's been a while since I did anything with ps/2 though, so I may be misremembering . And it may be windows/linux specific. or even BIOS specific.
Absent any new thoughts I think the next step needs to be conducting out of case continuity checks starting with the left had thumb assembly?
Yeah, my guess is that it's most likely an issue with the cable to the left thumb.
5. Pin Assignments. Have you mapped which wire is doing what functions in each of the connector circuits? Such an inventory might be helpful for isolating a broken wire.
Thanks again for your ongoing support.
I had fully reversed engineered the circuit at one point, but I can't find my notes/schematics from that, sorry
