Just as a reference point, many years ago I did fry the PS/2 port and
the keyboard pulling the plug from a machine that was powered on.
Fortunately, the mobo was fine other than not being able to use a PS/2
keyboard.

OTOH, I've done many since then (never on an important box!) and haven't
had problems. As always, YMMV.
