[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Need help with POST Error #302

warrenl@graphics.rent.com (Warren Lieuallen) (04/02/91)

   My mother-in-law has a rather odd PC (it's actually an IBM
terminal for a mainframe (#3072 or something like that), but it's
also an XT-clone).  Upon booting it up, she gets a "0302" message,
and is asked to press "F1" to continue.  Pressing "F1", the computer
continues to boot and works just fine.  However, I'd like to know
what code 302 is, to try and correct if for her.  I suspect it's
due to her new keyboard, but can't find code 302 listed anywhere.
Anyone know what it is?  Thanks!

302 is keyboard error. The BIOS don't suppport the new keyboard but
apparently it can cope with it but likes to tell the user that it's
not a proper PC keyboard.

Keep on presssing F1 ....
