It's not like there's no way forward. Worst case say you buy a KeyWiz and use it in PS/2 mode and five years from now the mobo dies and you can't find a PS/2 keyboard port on the replacement board you want. The worst that happens is you have to swap out the KeyWiz for a USB I-PAC/2 or GP-Wiz. You're out the time to re-wire the CP and the cost of the new encoder, but it's not the end of the world.

You can call it a "legacy" port if you want, but I don't see PS2 ports going anywhere any time soon. Besides Ultimarc's boards are both USB and PS2 compatible. The only difference is the cable. If you want to switch from one to another, just switch the cable.
