Do You Need to Know About USB?

Several PA-RISC workstations to be intro-

duced during 1999 require a USB keyboard

and mouse. Apart from the addition of three

PC-style keys to the keyboard and a scroll

wheel to the mouse, most users won't notice

the difference once the system is set up. And

the person setting up the system is likely to

notice only a different connector shape.

However, you need to absorb this presentation:

• if you plan to supply your own keyboard or mouse, or

• if you have been using other PS/2 devices, or

• if you have been considering a port of a PC or iMac USB device, or

• if you need a keyboard and mouse cable longer than 2.5m, or

• if you simply lament the passing of HP-HIL.

This presentation does not apply to Intel-based VISUALIZE workstations, as they

have had USB ports for some time (as have most PCs), and like all NT Worksta-

tions, are awaiting Windows 2000 (aka NT 5) for full USB support.
