BOCHS keyboard

Post by uglyoldbob »

Is there anyway of make bochs emulate an OLD keyboard (ie doesn't support scancode set 3)
I have an 80386SX 20MHz 2MB RAM.
It is my testbed platform. Only has the 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives.

There is a config option in that style, not sure wether it does exactly what you want...:
4.2.34. keyboard_type

Examples:

keyboard_type: xt
keyboard_type: at
keyboard_type: mf

Type of keyboard returned by a "identify keyboard" command to the keyboard controller. It must be one of "xt", "at" or "mf". Defaults to "mf". It should be ok for almost everybody. A known exception is French macs, that do have a "at"-like keyboard.
