No, it doesn't need a keyboard plugged in.  However read this section from Ultimarc's website regarding your BIOS settting:

Problem: Cannot program. Utility hangs at end of programming.
If you are using the PS/2 connection, and do not have any USB keyboard on your PC, you will need to check that in the PC BIOS, "USB keyboard support" or "Legacy USB Support" is DISABLED, otherwise WinIPAC will not program properly.
Another cause of this is having non-switch items connected to inputs. In general, the inputs must be "open" (ie no switch pressed) for programming to work. This may not be the case if you have other things connected such as a game board connected at the same time as the I-PAC. Email for further advice on this if you must have other devices connected as there are workarounds.

As far as I know, I only have the PS2 hook-up on mine, which is what I have hooked into the keyboard PS2 input on the computer. 

Also, I found a thread, from 2004 though, mentioning something about a Mame jumper switch on it... would that be the case...?  (I'm at work right now so I can't see it in front of me.)

Re: jumper.   Those Ipacs are older so if your's is new or made in the last couple of years, they don't have those jumpers.

I'd check your BIOS setting.  If that's ok, then shoot Andy an email and he'll help out very quickly.

DUDE, that was it!!!  My two variables that I changed was adding the passthrough keyboard but also switching that in BIOS (I'm assuming BIOS was the answer).  Holy crap, I'm in business!!!

Thanks so much, greatly appreciated.

phishpac:
also, the hardware tab in mala is for leds and other plugins.  you won't be able to configure the ipac from there.
