I finally got my EFIKA fired up last night.

The Radeon 9250SE I had lying around worked fine. However, the EFIKA was VERY picky about what keyboard it would use.

A PS/2 keyboard with a USB adapter would type one or two words then lock the system solid.
A KeyTronic USB keyboard (for a Mac) would only recognize the ENTER key.
I finally dug out a Sun Type7 USB keyboard and it worked flawlessly.

It may be a power issue; I'll try running the other keyboards through a powered USB1.1 hub and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Bill, glad to see SunHelp is up and running...;-)

Yep, I'm glad everything works. It will be a week or so before I can get to my PowerDeveloper project, as my workspace is now taken up by bill-paying consulting work..

No problem! Happy Holidays! When you sort out what you are doing we will blog about it. Your site is a great Solaris Community resource. For those that do not know, here is "mrbill":
