it varies motheboard to motherboard, but I can definantly attest that hotplugging PS/2 keyboards can pop fuses on the motherboard (it depends which pins connect first, just the right combination will cause problems)
back when I worked PC repair I repaired dozens of machines with this exact problem (interestingly the manufacturers expected service was motherboard replacement)
