I'd always assumed one particular could use an USB to PS/2 adapter on any USB keyboard, but apparently not. Not all USB keyboards is usually adapted to PS/2. Also, it appears some more mature motherboards never manage USB to obtain the BIOS throughout boot. I do think I'll get yet another keyboard like a spare. There have been lots of users possessing identical problems with PS/2 stuff. The odd portion was the keyboard was high-quality on USB following boot, but with no BIOS accessibility through boot. The Samsung 23.6" SyncMaster Lcd Watch Model E2420L keep an eye on is amazing, specifically for the value. ... and operates certainly Ok with my Linux technique. Not a single trouble to date!
