Vulcan 0 Posted April 27, 2002 hey.. a friend of mine built an AMD computer for his sister.i believe it's the 1700+ . running win xp pro. the comfy keyboard was plugged in successfully and is functioning. when he inserted the game "first step" and tried to run it ...the XP Cashed!!.... the game needs dos but won't work in a non windows operating system. ON HIS 733 PENTIUM 3 PC (WIN XP) THE GAME WORKED..!!... any suggestions please ?? Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 28, 2002 What port does this keyboard plug in to? You might just need some newer drivers for your motherboard, or if it's USB enable legacy keyboard/USB support in the BIOS. Share this post Link to post

clutch 1 Posted April 29, 2002 Wow, I have seen some wacky keyboards before, but I haven't seen a parallel one. However, it is possible that the unit simply doesn't like the motherboard/chipset or its respective BIOS revision. Some SpaceORB controllers do the same thing, and are not picked up properly or completely by some chipsets, or they are dependant on the combination of the controller's revision as well as the motherboard/chipset revision.

gbarziv 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Comfy's new keyboard is actually a USB one which makes life easier for all those parallel port ones. They also have a new website, new software design etc. www.comfylandnorthamerica.com Share this post Link to post
