Overview
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in
response to the proliferation of external peripheral devices
(keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras, removable drives,
etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest
generation of PCs. The USB is much faster than conventional
bus ports (i.e., serial, parallel, PS/2), and since it does not
require any IRQs, the problem of IRQ conflict is eliminated,
allowing many more devices to be attached to the system.
The UC-100KM
interface converter. It allows PS/2 type keyboards and mice to
connect to USB enabled PCs, notebooks, laptops, or handheld
computing devices via the USB bus instead of using
conventional bus technology.
An advantage of this for notebooks, for example, is that now an
external mouse and keyboard can be connected up at the
same time without causing conflict.
Note: Since most computers only have one or two USB
ports,USB hubs are often used to provide additional
ports so that numerous USB peripheral devices can be
connected up at the same time.

easy to use Hotkeys for selecting your computer’s operating
system and keyboard language input.
For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks,
laptops, and handhelds - the UC-100KM

bulky external power supply needs to be taken along. And
because it is a USB Specification compliant device, the

Wizard to install the appropriate driver for it.
2. There is no need to restart Windows once the driver has
been installed.
Windows 2000:
1. The first time you start up, Windows detects the
UC100KMA’s presence and automatically installs the
appropriate driver for it.
2. Once the driver has been installed you must restart
Windows in order for it to take effect.
Windows ME / XP:
1. The first time you start up, Windows detects the

UC-100KMA. If the drivers aren’t already installed, do the
following to install them:
1. With the computer powered off, plug a USB keyboard and
mouse into its USB ports.
2. Power on the computer.
After the system installs the drivers, you can use the
UC-100KMA at any time.
MAC:
The Mac can have both a UC100KMA attached keyboard and
mouse and a Mac keyboard and mouse connected to the
computer at the same time.
Sun:
The first time the Sun is run with the UC100KMA, it cannot
have a Sun keyboard and mouse connected at the same time.
