If you're talking about a PS/2 keyboard, probably not...the BIOS recognizes and configures them at boot time, and if one isn't present then, the resources aren't allocated for one to be added later. You should also be aware that PS/2 isn't a "hot plug" interface-- some people have blown fuses on their motherboards by hot-plugging a PS/2 keyboard while the system is running. Someone's suggestion about using a KVM is a good thought, however... -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to " [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
