From: Willie Lim <WLIM@MIT-XX> I occasionally run into problems with booting the XT. After the power up sequence, the XT will come up asking for the date. But it doesn't seem to take what I type in and instead generates a string of some character (usually the "-" character). I have to type ctrl-alt-del to get it to reboot and the problem disappears. It has happened about half a dozen times since I got the XT (i.e. about 4 months). Has anyone out there experienced the same problem? By the way, I was running DOS 2.0 on a standard XT with a Racal Vadic VA3455 modem connected to its RS232 port. Willie
