How the Hell does one access the BIOS with a USB keyboard !
The drivers for the USB devices don't install until after the boot screen! so I have not got a hope in hells chance of pressing the F1 key in time....

ha... that's a good one! never thought about that before!!!
actually, it "should" recognise the USB device as it will come under "usb-legacy" device which in theory dont need any drivers to be install to use it.

mine works fine and dandy on both this and my shuttle, logitech and trust usb jobbies, you can get ps2 usb convertors though if that'll help.
Si
Ps i think there's a bit in bios for usb keyboards now a days (obviously you'll need a standard ps2 to start with)

There is a setting in most BIOS' for this, I found that I needed to do this also when running Norton Ghost (DOS based Cloning Program), on my P4C800 its definately got it anyway, of course I needed to plug back in my PS/2 keyboard in order to switch it on!!!
