@btopenworld.com says... Hi Just wanted to know whats the better one to use?. I've run into a few computers that won't recognize a USB keyboard (or mouse) until Windows is loaded. Sometimes they won't even work when Windows is running in safe mode. This can be a problem if you want to change settings in the BIOS, or need to work in safe mode. PS2 keyboards don't have this issue. |

loading the bios default by shorting the jumper in some cases enables legacy USB hopefully, lets you get started.

Is there any patch that allows you to change BIOS when using the Microsoft wireless Bluetooth devices? |

A 'patch' ,as it were, is run from the OS and bios is not(conventionally) able to be access from there. Maybe a bios update/flash.

Both. I think it really does not matter. How fast does a keyboard have
to be. How much data can a keyboard handle in one second? You can buy a keyboard that can do both. I find a PS2 Keyboard is fast enough so there is no point as to what is fastest. On Wed, 17 Sep 2003, IceBerg wrote: Hi Just wanted to know whats the better one to use?. TIA Ellis |
