Patch to fix an issue which might occur when using a USB keyboard
and mouse with Microsoft Windows 2000
version 1.0
README

This update is intended for IBM machines type 6058, 6059,
6578, 6579, 6648, 6649, 6568, 6569, 6599, 6647, and 6650
running Windows 2000.

The update was provided by Microsoft to fix an error that might
occur when booting Windows 2000 using a USB keyboard and
mouse.  The screen may go 'blank' for approximately 30-40 secs after
post.  After this period the Windows 2000 screen appears and
starts loading and the system will function as expected.  When
using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse there is no delay between post
and Windows 2000.

Additionally, Microsoft details this issue in a Knowledge base 
article.  To view the contents of the knowledge base article for
