Yep, it's working fine in XT mode. Even in my crazy chain:
USB kbd-> 1st HIDMAN to PS/2 (my keyboard is buggy with kvm) + PS/2 mouse -> chineese PS/2 to USB adapter (kbd + mouse)-> USB IN on ATEN CS1734B-> PS/2 mouse and kbd in 2nd chineese ps/2 usb adapter-> 2nd HIDMAN -> XT
oO

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.

Ahh, yes if you use an AT-XT converter HIDman has no way of detecting you have an XT.

Let me know if you have any problems in XT mode.

Yeah I've noticed that my crappy fake "Logitech" mouse is far more stable when going HIDman->USBtoPS/2 than direct to PC... weird.

OK v1.1.5 is out now. Enjoy!

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 versions of the XT BIOS refuse to boot if you get a 301 error

I noticed that error showing up sometimes, but only when I attempted to start the machine with my KVM switched to the other computer.

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/deskt … itches/cs1734b/) which has a single USB cable that you plug into the computer. The single USB cable provides keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately HIDman doesn’t work with the single USB cable from the KVM. Is it possible to put HIDman into a debug mode / send you the logs and add support? Or can it only take keyboards and mouses from from dedicated USB connections and not over a shared connection? It would save me having to use 4 keyboards 😉

Yeah start with the hub unplugged, go to the advanced menu and log HID data. Then plug the hub in.

Ok I went into HID data mode and did the following;

1. Unplugged the USB keyboard from HIDman
2. Plugged the USB keyboard into the KVM
3. Plugged the USB cable from the KVM into HIDman then all this data filled the screen…when I type on the keyboard, nothing new appears on the screen (in Edit). The power light also never flashes (receiving data?)
