I have an Acer Aspire model 6140 (a PIII 450 system).  The system has 
plastic molding in the back that covers 2 serial ports (only one of which is 
supposed to work), and a game port.  I pulled off the metal case for the 
system as a whole but did not see any ps/2 ports or other ports.

I have looked for an ISA or PCI card that might have a ps/2 or AT-style port 
for a keyboard but I have not been able to find one.  I have also tried to 
find a keyboard that would use a COM port but that is also non-existant.

Anyway, thanks for your input.
