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.

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.

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.
