    Actually, the last unreleased bPlan OF 1.2 for Pegasos II dated 20051216, has support for USB keyboard. I use it in one of my Pegasoses, with USB keyboard, works fine. Actually it also resolves some other issues, like gigabit ethernet mac address problems with some Linux distributions. Some people got this firmware through beta channels, but bPlan themselves sent it out to a few people requesting it (for example because they had some other problems with their OF, like memory slowness). But this firmware revision is only supposed to work with Rev 2B3+ Pegasoses, and doesn't really support the G3 CPU cards.

    Additionally, some Genesi representatives on PowerDeveloper.org said, this version will crash & burn your machine, so even if it works fine for me, i won't recommend to upgrade, unless you really don't have to. ;-)

    hi,

    you need to contact Bplan; I had S.F. 1.1 and now 1.2 and I can use Apple USB keyboard form S.F. and I can use NIC ethernet 10/100/1000 in MOS and Linux.
    My mainboard Pegasos2 is REV 2B2.

    regards

    Thanks! I'll send an email asap.

    About my other problem,

    @Divinity
    Using your Apple keyboard, do you have different left/right Cmd when running MorphOS?

    Suggestions/ways to assign RCommand to another key?

    Prefs -> USB find your keyboard, and hid prefs should let you do just that.

    Didn't think about that! And I did it thousand times with joypads...

    Thanks :-)
