Hello! People on the net, Recently I just bought an enhanced (101) keyboard for my OLD AT made by PC's Limit. This keyboard works fine with a true blue AT, but not with my machine. It does not recognize those keys that old 84 keyboard does not have. Does anyone know what the cause might be? Is there any way to correct this problem beside of getting a 84 keyboard? Any help will be great appreciated. Thank you. -Tajen Liang @ Rutgers

Contact Dell (i.e. what became of PC's Limited) and see if thhey will update your BIOS. -- l\ /l ' _ Mike Schuster ...!cmcl2!panix!schuster l \/ l l l/ (_ NY Public Access CIS:70346,1745 l l l l\ (_ UNIX Systems MCI Mail,GEnie:MSCHUSTER

See if anyone has .com files with names like KEYBUS, KEYBUK, etc. Some of these replace the INT 9 vector to support the new enhanced keyboard.
