Chuck;
Examine carefully the circuit board where the keyboard connection jack
is located for a cold/broken solder joint. I have successfully
resoldered a few
boards like this that were damaged by the keyboard cable pulling on
the jack
and breaking loose a solder joint.
 If the keyboard controller is actually bad you're outa' luck.
 But you should be able to pick up another pentium pro
dual board fairly cheap www.pricewatch.com shows a surplus micronics
dual pentpro for $29
http://www.centrix-intl.com/ has surplus boards and
www.compgeeks.com sometimes has pentpro stuff.
