This keyboard is available with PS/2 connectors to the keyboard and Serial /RS232 to the mouse ports on your computer.
To solve the problem, Pocketec ships a PS/2 and USB-based power cable that provides a pass-through PS/2 connector (so you can still plug in a PS/2-based mouse), pulling power from that port.
The computer includes PS/2 connector for external keyboard/mouse, 9-pin high speed serial port, a 25-pin ECP/EPP parallel port, 15-pin external video (CRT) port, and external speaker and microphone jacks.
