I'm aware of that, but didn't try it. On the other hand, the BIOS seems 
to be a little bit too stupid to handle this correctly.
As I'm switching this computer on only once per day and not updating my 
system every other day, I don't really care about it any longer ;-)

Besides, the HHKB Lite 2 has two USB ports integrated which are quite 
handy sometimes.

The Happy Hacking keyboard doesn't have a numpad. I didn't have any 
problems because of this, regardless of having it enabled/disabled in 
the BIOS.


Happy Hacking ;-)
