Thanks for your input Andrew. I'll try to find something. Some keyboards 
were dual peronality once upon a time, USB and PS/2. Maybe I'm lucky 
finding a PS/2-USB adapter in my junk box.
Otherwise, I'm going to try passing the keyboard port and IRQ. I succeed 
to pass the serial port in another machine, and there were both ports, 
and IRQ involved. Hopefully it works.
Best regards,

Peter
