Please help to configure Sun Blade 150 workstation
Hi, I am new to UNIX. I have a Sun Blade 150 worksation. I used a Dell monitor and Dell keyboard as input and output devices. However, workstation always told me that keyboard couldn't be found. I used Dell keyboard with USB and Dell keyboard with series connector. It all didn't work. Please help me to figure this out. What kind of compatible keyboard and monitor should I use to work with Sun Blade 150 worksation? Thanks in adance.

the best would be to use a orginal sun keyboard and mouse. the monitor shouldn't be the problem..

There are some non-Sun keyboards you can use, like Belkins... Mice are no issue, though...I have Logitechs attached to 100, 150 and a 1500.

Thanks for your inputs. You mean that you had Logitechs mouse attached to Sun Blade 100, 150 and 1500. Right? Is that USB? Pressy said that the monitor wouldn't be a problem. I can use any model of monotor to attach to Sun Blade 150. What is your comment on this?

Any monitor will work fine.

Quite a few keyboards will also, try a few, you might get lucky, and any usb mouse should work.
