keyboard-connect _after_ reboot

[Guest]

Hi,
I want to send key-codes on a PS2-port, but at start of (bios and windows)
no keyboard has answered bios- and windows requests.
Background: I have implemented a PS2-port with an FPGA and a local uP, but
at start of windows both are not yet load. The codes are generated from a
plastic foil keyboard; not a standard 102-key keyboard. If I first load Fpga
and uC, all works fine (because uC simulates standard 102-key keyboard) and
later sends scancodes; but this would terribly increase startup.
Does anybody knows a solution (i.e. put a small program to autostart which
modifies registry-codes (which!!) after startup).
Thanks, Uli

You can use Task Scheduler to run your "small program" at startup.

hi uli,
here are some ideas to try.
1) is it during post (computer startup). on startup when connection is
dropped to verify what's plugged in. i have had to disable the bios post in
the past

2) on that note trying sending ecp instead of spp to serial in bios

3) devise manager- do you have all of your hidden (view show hidden) drivers
working (had problem with serial under non-plug and play in past but now
looking not there).

good luck
