Yes there is!  I remember about 6 months or so back I was in a computer 
store and they had all those things that would be free after rebates so 
I stocked up.  One of them was a really crappy generic brand keyboard 
and in the package was an adapter that went from the odd circle shape 
plug to a 9 pin.  Maybe if you find one of those (maybe make one from 
kits at radio shack?  I know you can make your own 9 and 25 pin cables 
so it might be possible to rig up an adapter somehow).  Then if you can 
get one of them maybe you can hook your like up in a deformed way.  I 
personally have like 5 some odd things just to get it to fit.  And even 
then I had to change some of my BIOS and port settings.  Just fiddle 
aroudn and maybe you can get it to work.
