The "dmidecode" command is useful for finding out information like that.

Shouldn't that be the case (PS/2 - legacy, USB - new style)?

I've seen some darn peculiar behaviours with PCs that are set in the
BIOS to use PS/2 keyboards, yet the owner only has a USB keyboard.
Sometimes the BIOS is accessible, with the BIOS emulating PS/2, but once
you boot a PC it's no longer emulating a PS/2 keyboard, the OS uses an
USB keyboard as an USB keyboard.  Othertimes the BIOS is inaccessible.

I wish they'd get their act together, they've been around for quite some
time.
