The keyboard itself has to detect and switch to using the pins in PS/2 serial mode. Not all keyboards do that, apparently, and it's becoming less all the time as we get further away from legacy interfaces like PS/2.

Soon I will have a USB Host part to experiment with, and see if I can crack open a CoCo and get it going with a USB keyboard.
