The Choc Mini uses a USB hack to give it NKRO over USB which can be incompatible with many BIOSes and OS like OSX. I am not sure there is a work around.

e: the computer should boot but using the keyboard within BIOS might be problematic.

Ok. Thanks.

I will be ordering a usb male to ps2 female, and a usb female to ps2 male. It will be arriving soon. Will post if it works. I read it in a mac thread.

Yep, that is the only possible workaround I've heard of for Macs. Will have to be tested.

Bios attemps to boot from the keyboard? . Enable the checkbox, usb devices (keyboard and mouse) will not be available after OS boot, but BIOS will boot faster. This will not affect USB capabilities after OS boot.

Temporary fix. You lose some things. For now i won't have to unplug my keyboard to boot and stick it back in after
