Hi Volker, ...yes, there is a ps/2 port...but this keyboard is that old, that it is recommended NOT to connect the keyboard to ANY "modern" PS/2 connector, since it does not comply to the standard very well. I choose exactly this adapter, because it is known to work with the keyboards "way of PS/2". If there is a little chance to enter BIOS and the BOOTSELECTOR using this keyboard I want really to avoid the hassle of having two boards connected to my PC (and wasting a USB port, too). Have a nice weekend! mcc
