Why would you want to interface the Keyboard? The IBM keyboard can be a cheap alternative to a keyboard on a Microprocessor development system. Or maybe you want a remote terminal, just couple it with a LCD Module.

You could design yourself a little box to convert RS-232 into a Keyboard Transmission, making it transparent to the software. Link.
