I actually never got the popup. IBM Model M is PS/2 not USB so it has to be plugged in on boot as the UEFI/Bios won't let you hot plug.

- jdboyd 10y agoYou probably could have used a PS/2 -> USB adapter.
- valarauca1 10y agoActually no IBM M has a >500mA inrush draw so -Not all converters support it -Some converters that support it, are disabled by the motherboard as the converter is exceeding spec. but valarauca why don't you use an externally powered hub? I've actually tired 4 different models, none have worked. I've just accepted that using a PS/2 plug on the motherboard is less of a head ache. I do have a PS/2 -> USB converter that works, but only with 1 of my motherboards (a VIA). Except it knocks out the other USB port stacked above/below it. I don't plug anything into that port for the PS/2 -> USB converter, just that port will never recognize something is plugged into it. I think it is a power draw issue.
