Well, you can buy a PS/2 keyboard to DC Maple port adapter - I can even sell 
you mine if you like (as I have the real things now).

You won't pay £15 for either of those devices (and a mouse is pretty much 
unnecessary) on ebay. But, yes, the BBA (the NIC) isn't cheap, though you 
could run NFS off the serial cable.

The attraction is that you can make a contribution to the kernel without 
having to be a mega-guru. I've written two device drivers now - and I first 
*used* Linux a year ago this month.
