Is there anyway to have the entire LK201 keyboard active while running RT-11? (the keys I mean are the top half of the arrow keypad, and most of the F keys across the top). Unless this is just a local effect, ignore this :-) I would like to be able to use these keys, because I frequently dial into our VAX at work, and the arrow keypad makes it so much easier to edit things. (for a while I was running P/OS 3.2, and using Kermit-11, but wanted compactness and speed, so switched back again to RT-11. Seems I switch OSs more often then anything else...) Thanx Billy D'Augustine Azog-Thoth@cup.portal.com

first off, be warned. I just found this list, and its been some time since I've used bitnet, so I'm a little rusty. most important question, did this message get posted? if not, please disregard the remainder of this message ;) second of all, I just received a pro-350, and p/os 1.7 (ancient, yes) and the self diagnostic screen comes up (the graphic drawing of the computer with the error number beside it) every once in a while telling me I have a software problem. it's happened too many times to ignore. anyone with p/os 1.7 have this problem? (I doubt I would be so lucky that it is simply a software problem, but better to ask before breaking it open). murphy's law says its either a bad spot on the hard drive (which wouldnt be so bad, its only 5 meg and I wanted a larger one) or a problem on the board, which gives me something to poke around in over the summer.

If you post both of the error numbers, I can look them up in my pocket service guide. If it is an OS problem, just reload the operating system (did you try booting from the diagnostics floppy-based OS?). If you don't have an OS to reload, email me, I have v2.0. P.S. to law-nerds: DEC has released its PRO software as freeware (copy- righted but freely distributable), including the OS and DEC-released applications.
