ROM Identification command

This command is used to identify the revision level of Vista Mini firmware cur-

rently installed. Before entering this command, your currently selected CPU

should be at a command prompt, word processor, or editor, so that when the

Vista Mini sends the ROM revision level that the result will be displayed. To issue

the command, press and release the left Control Key, then type “I”. Vista Mini

will send back its current firmware revision level, in the format

majorlevel.minorlevel.

Reset command

This command is used to re-boot the mouse and keyboard without removing

power from the Vista Mini. This is most useful to reset a PS/2 mouse which has

been unplugged and plugged back in. This command is also useful to enable

mouse data to be sent to a CPU which has not enabled the mouse. This may be

the case if the Vista Mini was not connected or powered off after a CPU was

booted up. To issue the command, press and release the left Control Key, then

type “R”. This command should not be issued to a CPU which has a PS/2

mouse connected, but no mouse driver is loaded, since many CPUs will crash if

you send them unexpected mouse data.

Immediately upon issuing the command, you will see the keyboard LEDs all go

on and then resume their previous state.

Reset computer mouse command

This command sends a mouse reset command to the currently selected com-

puter. Don’t confuse this command with the reset command which resets the

mouse itself. This command can be used to recover a stuck mouse on NT. To is-

sue the command, press and release the left Control Key, then type “O”.

Do not use this on older computers which can not recover the mouse by plug-

ging a mouse in directly as it will make the mouse go out of sync.

Reset to factory default

The settings that have been previously set and saved in non-volatile memory

can be returned to their factory default settings. This can be useful when the unit

is being moved to a new installation or to put the settings into a known condi-
