The operation of the interface (clock and data signal control) is the same as for the keyboard. The pointing device interface uses the IRQ12 interrupt. 5.6.3 Keyboard/Pointing Device Interface Programming Programming the keyboard interface consists of configuration, which occurs during POST, and control, which occurs during runtime. 8042 Configuration The keyboard/pointing device interface must be enabled and configured for a particular speed before it can be used. Enabling and speed parameters of the 8042 logic are affected through the PnP configuration registers of the SCH5307 I/O controller. Enabling and speed control are automatically set by the BIOS during POST but can also be accomplished with the Setup utility and other software. 5-20 www.hp.com Technical Reference Guide
