Heather,

What happens if you bypass the KVM and plug the PS/2 keyboard directly into
the Starmax?  I've got a PS/2 keyboard going through a Belkin KVM working
fine on my Starmax.  Also (wild guess here) have you tried resetting the
PRAM?

If you do get the PS/2 keyboard working, check a free extension on my
website which will reverse the PS/2 keyboards ALT & Windows keys to map as a
mac keyboard would - http://www.macdrivermuseum.com/input.shtml
