	This weekend our dog bit through the keyboard cable.  I got
a new keyboard, but alas, it seems that something else is wrong.  I
get the message "keyboard error! user check".  Everything else works
fine. (With Windows and the mouse I can still do lots of things:)  I
would like to fix this without having to buy a new motherboard.  Any
suggestion would be appreciated!!

	I had one thought.  Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard
port on an expansion card?  I've called two places with no luck, but
you never know.

System:

	DTK PEM-2500 25Mhz 386 w/64K cache. 
	new focus 5001 keboard.

Thanks Alot!
