Keyboard Loopback plug? Anyone?

Anyone know how to make or where to buy a keyboard loopback plug. I need a device that will allow me to boot an old 486 dell without a monitor and keyboard. I have already searched the bios and there is no option to ignore or not report keyboard errors, so without a keyboard hooked up it stops at the error until you press a key. There has to be a device that I can plug into the keyboard board to fool the computer into thinking that there is a keyboard plugged in. Any help would be apprecieated. Thanks in advance.
 
I have never seen such a thing, but if there were one, it would probably cost as much as the cheapest kbd out there (less than $10.). Are you sure there isn't some option in the bios setup regarding "Pause on Errors"?

Jesta,
I would also like something like that... I was just yesterday thinking about it.. I have a GNAT box running and do not want to keep an extra keyboard on there.. anyone have any ideas?
