Re: Print Screen Problem

It's a PS2, plugged into a PS2 port. I do remember in the 98SE/ME era that
Cherry had a Problem with one particular kind of keyboard in PS2, which
meant that to get the keyboard recognised at all, you had to hot plug in the
PS2 - not ideal, but the only way to get it to work until either Cherry or
MS issued a fix. My cable does have an adapter inline to reduce the plug to
PS2 size, as I originally used it on a W95/486 machine. Maybe this is the
trouble. I don't know what I can do about it, though.
