Power Mac G 4 desktop, cannot seem to get any windows keyboards to connect, what button should be pressed? is there a trick to it? The keyboard identification wizard doesnt seem to identify the keyboard. I know the keybord works and has power, the tower just wont identify either one that i have tried. The usb works, used a wireless mouse in it.

Just did a quick google, that IBM keyboard is so old it needed special drivers to work with XP.

For a Keyboard to work on the Mac it must be a stock standard USB keyboard.

And on a Mac that old, if anything works you'll be lucky.
