LinkoVitch #1 Posted October 1, 2003 My TT Mobo which sorta seems to be of the working variety doesn't seem to like having the keyboard plugged in. If I have no keyboard plugged in, it boots, runs a memory test, then a black bar slowly shrinks until it boots the HDD. If I have the keyboard pluged in I get nothing for a LONG time and then a white screen only. If I plug the keyboard in after it has booted it crashes with a bus error. Any suggestions? I really wanna play with this now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sikor #2 Posted October 1, 2003 I think, that it is Port or Keyboard problem. Port - you can replace normally RJ11 plug (like at Your phone). In keyboard you can check cable at keyboard board or check stick under key (sorry for my english). Other - you can check your TT with Mega ST or Mega STE keyboard - they are RJ11 ports too and are identical (electronically) as TT keyboard.

LinkoVitch #3 Posted October 1, 2003 I have had the keyboard appart already and all the contacts look good. And the RJ11 plug looks sound on both the board and the end of the wire. So I guess it could probably be a dead keyboard? Need to find an ST one now... Do you know if the regular ST keyboards are the same? (electronically) as I know they have a similar style connectore on them to what connects the TT keyboard to the cable... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krupkaj #4 Posted October 1, 2003 You can use every Mega ST(e) keyboard. Even is possible to connect ST(e) or Falcon keybard to your TT. Look into Michael Ruge's Chips & Chips HYPertext, there are schemes of adapters. In case another keyboard doesn't work try to change 6850 chip in your TT (there are 2 of them - one for keyboard, one for MIDI) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
