I have a Dell Inspiron 521 WITHOUT a PS2 port and IT squawks.. I had to plug
in a USB Keyboard.....
It's up in a rack in my garage, so I don't care.....

Heh. I have a rack of systems with Tyan S2466 motherboards, none of which
have keyboards attached. Each has a BIOS setting to prevent squawking if the
keyboard is not found. Half of them squawk anyway.
