Thor VM3 with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 User Guide 41
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.
An adapter cable is required to attach this keyboard to the Thor VM3. See Connect PS/2
Keyboard 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 for keymaps.
