Re: HIDman - USB to PS/2 converter (Open Source)

I grabbed a couple of HIDmans (prebuilt) and they’ve been working great with my machines but still very new to me. I have 4 machines connected to a KVM (Aten CS1734b https://www.aten.com/au/en/products/kvm/desktop-kvm-switches/cs1734b/) which has a single USB cable that you plug into the computer. …

Hmm I copied directly from the datasheet. I double checked and it looks right, I couldn't find anything wrong. I mean the ISA port pinout rather than the IT8888. I've attached a (terrible quality) pic showing what I mean - your pinout is on the left, the pinout from wikipedia is on the right. …

I was going to say the ISA pins are what mess up the routing from what I was experiencing. The SA/SD pin placement on the IT8888 are wack imo. Idk why they split them up like they did. The chip layout essentially treats the ISA data bus as a low byte + optional high byte setup rather than one …

Why does yours look so much prettier? When I lay out a board I try and get as much routing done on the component side as possible, then leave the bottom side for a ground plane. So the first thing I do for all PCI signals is get them onto the top side. I'm guessing freerouter prefers to leave …

Had a long train journey so to kill time I started laying out a PC/104 version of the IT8888 adapter. Managed to get (nearly) all the PCI traces onto a single layer!

After ordering a batch of those and fixing some minor issues I decided to swap the PS/2 port out for the HIDman circuit which worked great! The next thing I did was improve the sound chips ground planes and power filtering as well as adding a power LED and SD activity LED. This necessitated …

I notice you listed "XT compatibility improved" there. I'm interested to know what that means, as I've been using HIDMan on my 5160 with an old firmware version and it works just fine. XT-class machines were throwing a "301" error because hidman wasn't following the power-on sequence properly. Some …

No, it's clone. I think the reason is my AT-XT converter after hidman (but this chain works well), I didn't test hidman in XT mode in direct connection to XT yet. I'll check it soon. [/quote] Ahh, yes if you use an AT-XT converter HIDman has no way of detecting you have an XT. Let me know if you …

Btw on my XT new option for slow menu is required to be "on", otherwise I've had garbage insteed of menu, previous beta version typed menu well. Oh weird - slow menu should automatically be on if you're in XT mode. (it won't say "Yes" in the menu but it should still go slow) Is it a 5160 you have?
