I am wiring a Soarer's converter for my Zenith Z-150. I followed the diagrams I found and the keyboard doesn't even light up. My question is if I am looking at the female end of a AT port which pin is which?

Update. I wired it backward I think. But, I am now getting a R05 error from HID listen.

I now have gotten rid of that error and have this in HID Listen...

I tried a generic at to ps2 adapter and then a ps2 to usb adapter. No luck

With a direct generic at to ps2 adapter to my ps2 port it works during boot, but not after.

Also this seems to be more of a diary

It only works for a moment in the boot and if you press keys the beeping suddenly stops during bios and that is when it stops working

How did you solve the R05 problem? Did you manage to fix the problem?

This issue was specific to the Zenith Z-150. Are you working on converting one?

I have a Pro Micro clone, i tried to make a converter for ibm terminal model m, and successfully flashed soarers converter, wired it, and the hid listen only gives F05 error. I cant find anything about it

Post a picture of your keyboard's PCB. If it has very rounded corners, it cannot be converted with a Soarer's Converter. Only other thing to try is to make sure that the reset pin is also connected.

I do have internal Soarer's Converters that I have made for the Z-150 for $25 shipped to the USA that will plug right into the main PCB without soldering if you don't get anywhere with your setup for whatever reason.

I think it might be something wrong with wiring, or something, I tried it with multiple keyboards, normal PS2 ones too, but it always shows F05 error when I press a button, I have ordered another Pro Micro clone and try to do it again. If everything fails, Ill order a Teensy 2.0 and try with it. Ill post pictures of my initial work at afternoon.

Just to respond, got it working, the female PS2 connector was bad, bought another, and then it was working flawlessly
