After attempting to install a SCSI controller on my computer the keyboard
does not respond.  I tried another keyboard on the same computer but it
still showed no signs of life (not even the caps lock or num lock keys light
up).

Here are the specs for my system (this is a system that I put together
myself):
        INTEL Pentium II Celeron 300mhz overclocked at 450mhz
        Windows 98
        Abit BH6 motherboard
        96mb of PC100 RAM
        45x CD ROM
        HP SureWriter 8100 CDR/W
        Imation Superdisk (LS 120)
        generic ps2 keyboard


Here are the step by step details:
        - The system was working fine before I installed (attempted to install) the
SCSI card.
        - The SCSI card that I installed was the SIIG PCI/SCSI (the device driver
was the SCSI pro gold).
        - I installed the card into the system and then booted it up.
        - I then ran the install program for the card.
        - When the program prompted me to press the "i" key to install, I did so.
        - The computer locked up and I rebooted it again.
        - After this boot, the keyboard stopped responding and the computer made it
to the Windows 98 spash screen but froze.
        - I waited close to 20 minutes and there was no response from the system.
        - I then shut down the system (by using the power button) and took out the
SCSI card.
        - I rebooted again and there was still no response from the keyboard.  The
computer made it to the Windows 98 splash         screen and stopped responding
at the same place as before.
        - After this I tried booting up from a Windows 98 boot disk.
        - The computer booted up to an A: prompt but since the keyboard was not
responding, that's as far as it got.
        - I switched keyboards and repeated the above steps with the same results.
The other keyboard I tried was working fine       in another system.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
