Beautiful, Frans,   That did the trick, I went out in the shop and got 
my PS/2 keyboard and it works fine. It is the keyboard that I was using 
when I first set up the dual boot system.  Don't know why the usb board 
didn't work but it doesn't matter much I guess.  Thanks a lot and thanks 
to all who tried.,   Doug
