HELP! Keyboard connected but Ultra60 doesn't boot :-((
Hi all,
This is my first post here
Hope some guru here will be able to help ...
I'm in a predicament - my Ultra 60 worked fine before it was put into storage a year ago ... now, I've set it up in my PC room and I get the following message on startup:
Can't open input device.
Keyboard not present. Using ttya for input and output.
Now, I powered on by pressing the 'power' button on the keyboard! On bootup, all 4 keyboard LED lights flash, along with the beep, but the system just hangs with the above message.
I borrowed a Wyse terminal for the night to see whether it could actually bootup, and it did without problem.
I borrowed another keyboard to try out - one known to work - and still the same message.
What is going on?!? Tearing my hair out on this one ...
Any help *much* appreciated.
Cheers,
Monte.
