Further to the above, I have found the following in a help web site 
which is all about problems getting to the BIOS.

"Some PCs with both PS/2 and USB connections are configured to only 
allow USB input after the POST. This means that if you're using a USB 
keyboard, it could be impossible to access BIOS. In that case, you'd 
need to connect an older PS/2 keyboard to your PC to access BIOS."

Well, my computer does indeed have both USB connections, several in 
fact, and also a PS2 port. So I will see how a PS2 keyboard does when I 
borrow one tomorrow.
