Please, let's not think of me so much expert as experienced. I can't count
the times I've fumbled a keyboard connector into the top port and found the
BIOS yammering keyboard failure. If I was a true expert it wouldn't have
taken me nearly two days to recognize you did the equivalent, or typed purple
when my brain knew green before sending my first thread reply of the day.
As long as PS/2 ports have existed, it's unfathomable that BIOS makers
apparently still have not figured out how to have either port support a
keyboard at POST time. Instead, many, or maybe most, have taken to providing
only one, or none.
