What to do after the onboard keyboard port dies?

[lordugh]

I have a perfectly good Soyo 5EMA+ ss7 board however there is one problem, The ps/2 keyboard bus is DEAD, therefore i cant use a keyboard! and if i cant use a keyboard i cant boot up! are there any alternatives? i've poked around for expansion slot PS/2 controllers with no luck, It seems like a waste to toss an otherwise fine board.

Does it have a USB port?

if it doesn't you can get a USB controller and a usb keyboard. but that may not work under DOS or Linux for that matter...

of course, look around for a ss7 board.

yes, it has USB! I made inquiries earlier about USB keyboards, I never got a definate answer if it would work, its goign to run win2k server, so USB should work. i guess i'll have to get one and see.

I have win2kas and usb works rather well on my MS-6309
