Nope. The AT keyboard can be configured in 3 distinct modes. In one of them
(mode 2 ?), the *host* is generating the clock. I'm quite positively sure
on this one - There's a philips 8051 application note about how to interface
a AT-style keyboard to I2C. They used this mode.
I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't available on all models, though.
