USB legacy is needed to allow W2K and older MS versions to get into safe 
mode. As earlier stated, it is simulating PS/2 functionality to the 
outdated OS. I wondered how I was able to set BIOS settings without the 
support and could not get windows into safe mode with USB keyboards. It 
finally donned on me, the BIOS access was more capable than safe mode needs.
However, with a PS/2 keyboard, you do not need legacy support.
