[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Repeeeeeeeating keys prob

Eric.Fleischer@halluc.FIDONET.ORG (Eric Fleischer) (01/27/91)

-> My Amiga has recently developed a sporadic problem with its string
-> requestors. What happens is that I'll press a key, and it will just
-> REPPPPPPPPPPPEAT very very quickly. Pressing another key stops the
-> repeat, but 'backspace' seems to take forever to start deleting
-> characters (Amiga-X works instantly though).

    Your problem is your Cherry keyboard, and the use of SETCPU to map 
the kickstart to 32bit memory. The Cherry keyboard can't seem to handle 
the faster speed that causes.
    The solution is in the KEYPATCH command in SETCPU. I use: 
SETCPU FASTROM CACHE BURST KEYPATCH 10
    as my command line, you have to experiment with the number to see 
what works for your keyboard.
