I am still using one of the Old IBM PS/2 keyboards which weighs about 10
pounds. I hate to leave it but it is beginning to give me trouble. With my
older computer a PS/2 Keyboard had to be plugged in to complete the boot
process. If it does not see the keyboard during bootup, it gives a message
to press "F1" key before it continues. After the boot was completed and
Windows was running with its drivers available, it was then possible to
plug in and use a USB keyboard.

Will the BIOS of the A7N8X-deluxe accept a USB Keyboard as its only
keyboard and boot properly with it?

Thanks.

Could have disabled the halt on keyboard error option in the BIOS.

Yes, and with legacy support (an option in the bios) you should be able to
use it without loading the drivers (such as in DOS)
