Hello..I am wanting to purchase the old Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro but it comes with a USB connector which does not allow me to type in DOS (my BIOS not set up for that). I have a USB to serial connector here. Will this connector allow me to use the Natural kb and its full functionality in Windows 98?
Also, anyone know of any low priced sites to buy the Natural Pro besides pricewatch?

Thank you.

It does not really mather, if you are talking of ps/2 or serial, it should work in both situations. Ps/2 is a type of serial communication.

In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies

You have to get a retail version of Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard. The retail version have both PS/2 and USB connector. They are very hard to find now since Microsoft discontinued the keyboard.
