I've been using a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard since 2006, with a Powermac G4 DA and a Powermac G5 2.7 DP, and it's working flawlessly. It's made for Windows' PC (has Windows keys), but I can remap those keys to equivalent Mac ones using System Preferences. Besides, Microsoft offer a driver for OSX, for programming media and user keys. Lastly, the Macs recognize startup sequences (like Command-S for single user mode and Command-Option-P-R for resetting Pram) from this keyboard, as long as it's connected to the Mac USB port (it might not work when connected to an USB hub). All in all, a good piece of hardware (as usually MS input devices are), that is relatively cheap (it was 37 euros back then). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
