Apple Wireless Keyboard on Vista 64

3 Feb 2009

I've been trying on and off for about six months to get my Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard working on Vista 64. The first part of the puzzle was finding a bluetooth dongle that had support for Vista 64. Most only support Vista 32. Here's the one I found:

Twelve quid from Novatech. The key thing is that it has a Widcomm chipset.

ADSL Speed Uplift (3)

I fitted the hard wired ADSL filter to the alarm panel last night. Testing the line stats with and without the alarm panel didn't seem to make much difference to the readings.

I asked ADSL24 to change the interleave status of my line, hoping that it'll restart my ADSL Max sample period. Looking good at the moment with downstream sync rate now at 7.3Mb. Yay!!

Vista tftp client

I'm trying to upload an image to a router at the moment and to do this I need a tftp client. I'm running Vista Ultimate (64 bit) and it doesn't have a tftp client installed as default. It's hidden away in 'Turn Windows features on or off'. Nice one :)

ADSL Speed Uplift (2)

I clipped the bell wire in the BT Master Socket tonight - it was running upto the office where it wasn't connected but, as my mate Greg pointed out, it's going to be a big antenna. It's dropped a little on the tone 224-255 line but no other noticable change.

Got a hardwired filter coming tomorrow for the alarm panel. Will also check my tones with the alarm removed completely.
