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.
