DaemonFCso lets say you use some mythical office suite that outputs valid strict OOXML, Office 2010 will import it, and then when the user edits and hits save, it's suddenly OOXML transitional + crap, that might not even format right in the office suite that it originated inJul 28 07:05

oiaohmAnd no there is no out casing way to tell.Jul 28 08:11
cubezzz3ah, better just to use the correct part :)Jul 28 08:11
MinceRi thought in both cases whether the chip is needed only depends on whether the controller in the peripheral can handle both protocols or notJul 28 08:12
oiaohmPS2 keyboards don't know both protocals.Jul 28 08:12

oiaohmAnd are only allowed to know one.Jul 28 08:12
cubezzz3the adapter could droop downJul 28 08:12
oiaohmusb keyboards without chips are depending on the ps/2 start up poll or the usb start up poll to work out what mode that it should be running in.Jul 28 08:13

oiaohmSo allowing over time all the legacy stuff to be killed off.Jul 28 08:20
