Sorry. I have gone through all this before when I got the machine. 
Frustration strikes in when it happens all again.

It IS a standard keyboard, if a standard keyboard is a 5 quid 104 key 
keyboard with all the keys in the right places, in the right order, 
and without being squashed up. I went out and bought it this affy.

Other than that, I threw my original Iyonix keyboard away; it wasn't 
working.

But in any case, it seems to be the back outer USB socket that doesn't 
work at boot-up (because whichever is plugged into that, keyboard OR 
mouse) isn't seen at boot-up. But both DO work after the one in the 
back outer USB socket is re-plugged.

So, does this still indicate a non-standard keyboard? After all, when 
the keyboard is in the back inner socket, it IS seen (and works) at 
boot-up (it's then the mouse that isn't seen at boot-up). So I cannot 
see how the problem can be either the mouse alone, nor the keyboard 
alone, but the problem seems to be the back outer USB socket. (?)

See my USB toography posting for semi-constructive criticism.
