[QUOTE="nonameo, post: 202105, member: 15131"] Hi, I have a slight problem... I have found a workaround for it, but it is not exactly what I want. Basically, I can't give my mini any boot-time key commands. Why? I'm assuming it is because my keyboard is not being detected! I don't have a USB keyboard and mouse. For this reason, I must use a PS/2 -> USB converter. In OS X, it is detected and works fine, but shows up as an adapter and not as a separate keyboard and mouse. I'm assuming that it is not as transparent as it needs to be... Has anyone else ran into this problem? Any solutions to suggest besides getting a new keyboard? On second thought, anyone want to sell me their bluetooth keyboard? :-P (it would have to be for cheap :( ) [/QUOTE]
