Hello. Does anyone have a Wyse machine working with Windows 3.0? I'm trying to use a Wyse pc286 Model 2108, but the keyboard is all screwed up in Windows. Sometimes you have to press a key three or four times before it registers, and sometimes the keyboard just locks up and all the keyboard lights go on. Can anyone help? By the way, this is a 102-key enhanced keyboard connected to the Wyse CPU card via one of those telephone-style connectors. There was no such problem with Windows 2.x. Thanks in advance. -- +-------------------+----------------------+---------------------------------+ | JERRY J.

I'm also running a 2108 and I have almost the same symptoms. In standard mode, Windows Write loses keystrokes. It loses so many that at first I thought the system had hung, but after I smashed my fist down on the keyboard and held it there, the odd keystroke started to make it through! Anyway, if I run Windows in real mode I have no problems. If I run in standard mode *but* run Terminal first, I also have no problems. Configuration: 8MHz 286 Wyse 2108, Bocaram/AT, Hercules mono. I could swear that I had no problems until I added the second hard disk a few weeks ago. (I don't bother with Windows much anymore -- it just doesn't give me anything I need.) -- Rick Low +1 613 957 9500 mitel!melair!low@uunet.uu.net
