Hi,

BTW, I have at work a laptop PC with a USB keyboard that behaves quite transparently, BIOS can acceed to it without problems (I know because I use a BIOS password), and I suppose the same would happen to DOS (I haven't been able to do tests yet). As it is my first experience with USB keyboards, should I expect all USB keyboards to behave transparently and go through BIOS? Any experiences?

My experience with USB emulation from BIOS is that it works fine until some application tries to access the keyboard directly (at least I seem to recall that is what it was doing, but don't recall for sure), for me it caused the emulation to stop and thus the computer is stuck without a keyboard until reset.
