I can think of two ways, but both may need some hardware work. One is to
change the bios and burn the eprom again, but you need to find where the
keyboard tests are being done. The other is to put an 8051 or similar in a
breadboard and program it to simulate ports 60/64 and thus fool the bios.
Hope this helps!
