Title: x68000 ps/2 keyboard keys
Post by: maretali on September 27, 2024, 10:49:24 PM
Hello, I have a x68000 without the original keyboard. I'm using a ps/2 adapter and a pc ps/2 keyboard. Do you know  the keys for the opt.1 and opt.2 on this keyboard?

I do not, but interested as well.

Also, other key mapping would be nice to know, such as HELP which is used in some games during booth to change the refresh rate.

Anyway, I might just be lazy, because this is probably in the adapter source code, which I may have a look if I find some time and no one else reply to this.

But what sort of adapter is it? For instance if you bought/built this one then the keymap is this:

My adapter is GKA-AT68 by Mr. M.Sawada. There is a keymap for this adapter?

Why don't you just click around and see which key works? Anyway the assembly code says they are apparently right alt and right ctrl

;  半角/全角→全角 変換→XF3 無変換→XF2 F11→ローマ字 F12→コード入力
;  ALT(L)→XF1 END→ROLL-UP SCROLL-LOCK→HELP ALT(R)→OPT1 CTRL(R)→OPT2
;  左WIN→XF4 右WIN→XF5 アプリ→登録 NUMLOCK時 END→記号入力 5→登録

Keyboard Adapter - GKA-AT68

ALT (L)         -   XF1
RIGHT WIN      -   XF5
LEFT WIN      -   XF4
ALT (R)       -   OPT1
CTRL (R)      -   OPT2
END         -   UNDO
PAGE DOWN      -   ROLL DOWN
PAGE UP         -   ROLL UP
PRINT SCREEN           -   COPY
PAUSE + CTRL      -   Make Code (?)
SCROLL LOCK      -   HELP
F11         -   Romaji
F12         -    Hiragana

I could not figure out the XF2 and XF3, but in fact it seems that there is no conversion for these keys.

You need to have a japanese ps2 keyboard for these keys to work because they are exclusive for this layout
