Thanks for the advice. I'd better give the bios a check on recognizing a
usb keyboard. You would think the motherboard manufacturer and the bios
manufacturer would be in-line with each other, but I've found that with
older computers, there are many irregularities. For instance, with one of
the older computers, the boot sequence in the bios includes booting from
cd. Upon communicating with the bios maker, the particular bios model
will not boot from cd. However, for $69 an update will fix that. Now the
update is down to $19, but that is a different story.

thanks
