Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.
Was the tape to cover the write protect notch on the floppy?

Me too... my first code was for Commodore PET. Then I got an Amiga. Sad day when Commodore folded.

WDYM old, it's still being used from time to time. For fucky
BIOSUEFI's and for easy NKRO without HID report fuckery -
PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.
I'm wondering, is it still the case for mobos with Super IO?
