Thanks for the ideas Brian. Luckily I had a 6 pin connector on the tower and another keyboard. It got me up an installed - now the moment of truth :o I'm going to reboot and see if the system works. I installed the USB keyboard driver.
btw - this is my first install.

Did you try enabling USB keyboard support in the BIOS? I'm not sure what that does, but it may work... Do you have a USB/pin-6 or whatever adapter for it? Or does it have both a USB and pin-6 connections on the same cable? Mine does, and I simultaneously plug in both ends so I have normal keyboard support and can use the built-in USB hub. Otherwise, you may have to make your own boot disk with USB keyboard support if there aren't any currently available. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
