PS/2 Keyboards
Legacy PS/2 keyboards can be used with the Thor VM3 via a USB to PS/2 adapter cable. PS/2 keyboards are available in
60-key and 95-key versions and were used with the VX6, VX7, Thor VX8 or Thor VX9.
Note: The PS/2 adapter cable does not work with the Thor VM3 and the VM1D Standard Dock. The PS/2 adapter cable
works with either the VM3D or VMXD Enhanced Docks.
95-key PS/2 Keyboard
The 95-key PS/2 keyboard may have any of the following markings on the decal on the back of the keyboard:
• 160491-0001
• 95 KEY PS-2
• 9000154KEYBRD (also available as VX89154KEYBRD)
If the keyboard looks similar but has a different part number refer to 95-Key USB Keyboard (page 3-9).
An adapter cable is required to attach this keyboard to the Thor VM3. See Secure the cable to the Thor VM3 with
Strain Relief Cable Clamps (page 4-16). (page 4-39) for details.
Note: If the keyboard was previously used with Thor VX8 or Thor VX9, the adapter cable for the Thor VX8/VX9 is not
used. The new PS/2 to USB adapter cable must be used.
This keyboard is visually similar to the USB external keyboard.
Key Maps
The 95-key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 keyboard standard plus Windows keys) and
includes an integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However, because the keyboard only has
95 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor VM3 keyboard supports what
is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard. Refer to External 95-Key
Keyboard (page 8-3) for keymaps.
