Product description
This IBM Space Saver keyboard works with IBM and ISA-standard computers thathave 6-pin, mini-DIN, PS/2-style keyboard and mouse connectors. You can use theTrackPoint pointing device for pointing, selecting, dragging, or scrolling. As aresult, you do not need to use a mouse with the keyboard. However, you have theoption of connecting a mouse to the mouse connector on the bottom of the keyboard.
Three buttons are located below the Spacebar on the keyboard. The left and rightbuttons work similarly to the buttons on a mouse. Pressing the middle button changes
the built-in TrackPoint stick from a pointing device to a scrolling device.
The keyboard provides Press-to-Select and third-button scrolling functions for
Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 and IBM OS/2 Version
4 operating systems. However, if you are using a mouse that comes with its own
device driver, you will need to uninstall the mouse device driver before you can use
the Press-to-Select and third-button scrolling functions. For more information, see“Connecting a mouse to the keyboard” on page 1-4. The keyboard will function only
as a standard PS/2-style keyboard and mouse for DOS Version 5.02 or later, Windows
3.1, and IBM OS/2 Version 3. Any earlier versions of these operating systems are notsupported. For more information on Space Saver keyboard features, see “Using theSpace Saver keyboard” on page 2-1.

options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its
exchange;
