How can I tell if the I-pac 4 will work with my pc in Dos mode?

Ok,  I'm finally getting ready to kick my project into gear and finally got the $$ to get some of the things I want.  I was looking at the i-pac 4 for encoding.  I am running a PII 500.  I thought I would run it in straight up dos mode.  Do I need to actually run windows?

From the Ultimarc site about the ipac 4:

How can I test if USB will work with DOS on my machine?

Thanks for all feedback!

Do you have a regular usb keyboard?  If so plug it in and check it out.  Why not just use it with the ps2 port though?

I thought the ipac 4 had to be used with usb.  Did I miss where it says it can be used with PS2 port?  ???

Yep, you probably missed it.  From Andy's website:

Since you are using DOS, PS2 will probably be easier for you.   Good luck.  :D

You can order it as either USB or PS2.  You confirm what one you want when you order.  If your using DOS then I would recommend PS2 version.  Even PS2 version if running 95/98/ME.  USB worked with these, but they all had some troubles.  2000 and XP should be OK USB version.
