Using a PS/2 style keyboard solved the issue.

Hi JT,
I don't see any PS/2 inputs, nor do I have the keyboard anyway.

Here's what happens with the Genymotion Android 10 Pixel3a emulation:

"Your CPU is incompatible with virtualization technologies."

And here's what happens with the VirtualBox virtual machine:

"AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS)
(VERR_SVM_DISABLED)."

Googling, there's "apparently" a way to force the CMOS to come up
o Apparently by shorting a jumper somewhere (but I'm not sure where).

What model PC?

A pic of the back of the motherboard with all the inputs would be helpful.
