Description
I've a PS2/2 keyboard with a PS2->USB adapter, which works fine on my PC and other HW emulators which has USB port, but not on Eclaire (FW7)
The LEDS on the keyboard are blinking once and then stay black (all).

I Confirm that ExlaireXL does support PS2/USB adapter to connect PS/2 Keyboard & Mouse with CORE7
i just tested it here and it works!!
what adapter you use? that are some cheap adapter that does not fully comply with the PI Protocol
i recommend to use a Belkin adapter or compatible,
send me your postal address and i will ship you an adapter that works as a gift

Yeah I expect a non-compliant adaptor. Though I doubt the USB HID support is rock solid investigating these individually takes too long. Does it have a built in hub? The USB hub support seems a bit iffy to me.

As you mention this, I tried it again:
- if the keyboard has already been connected when I turn eclaire on, it doesn't work
- when I let eclaire to boot and connect the keyboard after the "ready" prompt appeared, the keyboard works.

These adaptors are just wiring. The keyboard detects if it works in USB or PS2 mode. It can be that the keyboard detects the wrong mode.
