2515.0. ""keyboard error" with VT510 console" by NWD002::SCHWENKEN_FR () Fri Feb 07 1997 13:44

    I have a customer who put a VT510 on his A2100 as the console. The
    console parameter is set to serial, but since the VT510's keyboard is
    connected to the VT and not to the keyboard port on the system, the
    comment "Keyboard error" appears during power up test. This doesn't
    seem like a problem to me, but the user wants a "clean" set of pup
    results. So far, I haven't been able to discover how to do this, other
    than by leaving a spare keyboard plugged into the port. 
    	This seems like a nitnoid problem, but if there is a way to prevent
    the kbd test from failing, I'd like to know what it is. Otherwise, I'll
    continue to respond that that's the way it is.
    	Many thanks for any replies.

    In the back of Circuit Cellar Ink, you'll find an Ad. for XVetra
    Systems Corporation.
    
    They make a Phantom Keyboard Eliminator that you plug into the keyboard
    port and the PC (possibly Alpha), believes that it has a keyboard
    connected.
