Finally got the kb. As almost everyone anticipated,
it refused to work connected to ps/2 adapter with
usb - ps/2. I had to recompile the kernel and put
usb code back.
So far, so good. Thanks all for support.

Not.
The old _ISA-based_ PS/2 is dead. PS/2 interfaces, provided by other

because USB requires such a large and complex protocol stack to do
much of anything. I

I don't know if the original Happy Hacker keyboard is still
available, it hasn't been an issue for me. :D
The successor to the original HHKB were the HHKB Professional (I'm
typing this on one) and now the HHKB Professional 2. Both are USB
only; the Pro2 added a hub.

It's not _that_ strange. PS/2 doesn't allow for safe hot-plugging, USB
does. And very few typists are going to exceed the keyrate of USB.

The Happy Hacking keyboard doesn't have a numpad. I didn't have any
problems because of this, regardless of having it enabled/disabled in
the BIOS.
Sorry for late reply.

I simply ask for behaveor of kb with options I set. I turn

Dear all!
I consider buying new keyboard and found happy hacker lite 2
model suiting fine. Is there someone on the list with expe-
rience using it? I'm aware I should change rc.conf to meet it's
65 key layout. Also, how xorg.conf has to look like in this
situation?
Best regards
