Does anyone have a manual that has the dip switch and jumper settings on the MPU for the Bally V5000 video poker machines? My manual is only the Installation Manual and that's all I see posted here on the site also. The manual for the Race 3 refers you to the Vortex Pok3r manual for the programming procedure, but I had a bit of trouble figuring it out - primarily because a key step is missing from the manual. The board OS modes (Windows, Linux, OSX), layout modes (QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak), and layers. POK3R keyboard layouts for Windows and OSX.

Dip Switches Possible Settings
HJKL as cursor keys are more ergonomical to reach by moving the FN to the left Ctrl key location:
- Switch to Layer 2 (or 3, 4); this programming is per layer
- Unplug keyboard
- DIP switch 4 to ON
- Plugin keyboard again, then press
FN
then:L_Ctrl
then:PN
then:PN
(to leave it in its original location) - DIP switch 4 back to OFF (no need to unplug)
