    Yes; much to my surprise; these keyboards seem to use exclusively
    PS2 intetfaces. I ass*u*med they would use the serial nine pin, yet
    another way to show my ignorance.
    At any rate, I bought one from <clickykeyboards.com> along with
    their recommended PS2/USB converter.
    Thanks.
