Hello all!

I have in my hands the Victor V486MT/33. Boots ok but need setup. My problem is that can’t see an AT keyboard. No led flashing on any AT keyboard i plug in. You know the solution please? Have to do with the key switch at front panel, or maybe with Dallas battery. Or it is something else?

Thank you very much

It has to be unlocked or the KB will not work.
Well you can bypass the switch obviously.
Also mine did not work properly without a fresh cmos battery.

I don’t have the key but seems already unlocked. I also remove the connector behind the key lock with no luck.

Also, I measure the din-5 socket and there is not 5v dc.

I will do the mod with Dallas and I report back.

Thank you very much

By hack the Dallas and add battery, the only change was that pass the diagnostic test and boot to OS (ms-dos).

The front lock is unlocked for sure.

Still no keyboard. I test 3 different AT keyboards. No error, no nothing, just don’t work. Not even keyboard led’s flashlight as I wrote before. The strange thing is that the 5v missing from din5 socket. Maybe there is a keyboard fuse anywhere in the pcb?

Thank you
