Sun models the keyboard type is always PC, Apple, or Sun. For the multi-platform models, the type of keyboard is automatically determined at power-up of the UltraView. If the keyboard is not attached at power-up , it will default to PC. If either a Sun or Apple keyboard is attached after power-up, it will not be recognized and you must power the UltraView off and back on for it to be recognized. - Page 21 When choosing a PS/2 mouse, this also resets the PS/2 mouse and enables data to be sent from it. This can be used after a PS/2 mouse has been connected and after the UltraView has been powered on to enable it. You can also use the reset command mentioned on page 30.
