Headless booting

[John Pierson]

Many systems (especially these days) allow you to turn off the keyboard
check in the bios.  If this is a pentium anything machine, I'd be surprised
to see it without this feature (I use it all the time).

Ok, I'm going out of my mind over here trying to find something I saw on the
internet about a year ago. I'm hoping some of you have also seen it.

 

It plugs into you keyboard port and gives the computer proper signaling,
tricking the computer into thinking there is a keyboard connected. They made
a similar adaptor for the mouse port. I'm not looking for a KVM switch.

 

All it was only a keyboard asic soldered onto the end of a keyboard
connector. But it worked great.

 

Some machines (most) require a keyboard to be connected. I want to setup an
array of VNC machines, and get rid of the keyboards and mice.
