how about ps/2 keyboard?

same danger with it? since, i have key tronic with ps/2, but i use it
with an adapter, and i have hot plugged/unplugged it.

it's a rare (and good) model of a keyboard, and i'd HATE to fry it,
so, is there the same danger or not?

logically, i would assume the danger exists.
