PS/2 Keyboards

Legacy PS/2 keyboards can be used with the Thor VM2 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.

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)

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 VM2 keyboard supports what
is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard. Refer to
Keyboard (page 7-2) for keymaps.
