[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] KeyBdFix did not fix it

jwhitman@stl-06sima.army.mil (Jerry Whitman) (02/13/91)

I am not sure if this should have gone to hardware or misc, so I am trying both
to make sure.  I sent this out last week, but no one responded to it.  If you
have any help to offer please holler.

I tried to put Norman Iscoves KeyBdFix to work this week-end, but it did
not seem to want to function for me.  Perhaps someone can tell me what I
have done wrong, or not done that I need to do.  I would presume the problem
lies in my end since I have seen no mail indicating any problem with the two
procedures Norman provided.

System:  A2000HD / 2090A Controller / Rodime 40MB HD - a pure vanilla system.

What I have done:
1.  UUDECODE the two little programs Clear and Reset.
2.  Copied them into sys:c.
3.  Edited Startup-Sequence (not Startup-SequenceHD) to add two lines just
prior to LoadWB that read C:Clear and C:Reset
4.  Power boot-up, start shell from WorkBench Shell icon.
5.  Keyboard sucked up the first character I typed.

Where have I gone wrong???

I would appreciate it if anyone who has done this successfully on a 2000HD
would steer me straight.
