I recently sold my AT&T 6386 WGS and replaced it with a home built
machine constructed of the following:
- Cache 25 Mother board by Cache Computers
(The one reviewed in BYTE Magazine)
Utilizing the AMI BIOS and C & T chipset.
- WD1007WA2 Hard DIsk Controller
- Micropolis 170 MB Drive
I have been running AT&T UNIX System 5.3.2 with the UNIX Update without a
problem until I noticed recently that if I hit the <PAUSE> key or
<CONTROL> <BREAK> (the same key) my keyboard locks up. The only way
to unlock the keyboard is to kill the shell from a terminal that I have
connected to the serial port. I spoke with AMI and they are sending a
new keyboard BIOS version kF which they have said is known to cure some
keyboard problems (My current version is k8 or E307-6063-091589-k8).
If anyone has any insight into this problem, please let me know. I have
refrained from calling the AT&T Hotline because I know they'll give me
the business of their not supporting their UNIX on non-AT&T hardware.
Thanks;
Dave Berk
