Lynn,
A caveat on keyboards:  there are two kinds of plugs for keyboards, which
means keyboards are not always physically interchangeable (although adapters
are available for only a few dollars).  I believe Gateway and Compaq have
both gone to 100% PS/2 style keyboards in recent years (can any verify?)
which would mean these keyboards are interchangeable.  If the plug fits
you've got a compatible keyboard.
