Subject: Keyboard Problems
Date: 9 Apr 92 15:07:19 GMT

Here at St. Mary's we have Loop 286 PC compatibles that were made by  
Everex.  Recently three or four of the systems have developed a problem  
with the keyboard.  The user will be typing along in WordStar then the  
machine will beep and the keyboard will lock up.  Sometimes if the  
connection to the motherboard is wiggled or disconnected/reconnected, the  
machine beeps again and the keyboard works fine.  It does the same thing  
with the cheapo keyboards that came with the systems and with Northgate  
Omnikey 101 keyboards.  We're pretty much baffled on this one, so I would  
really appreciate any help.  Please e-mail me directly. Thanks.

	I read somewhere (Windows magazine, I think) that the 50mhz DX2 runs at
40 MIPS, and (when it comes out) the 66mhz will crank out 54 MIPS.

	I'm not certain, but I strongly believe the DX2 comes fully loaded with
the math coprocessor. I think this because Intel is going to offer the
chip to existing 486DX owners with a socketed CPU, so simple removal of
the old chip and installation of the new DX2 in the same socket will
give you a 486DX2. I find it hard to believe Intel expects these people
to lose thier coprocessor in the proccess.
	BTW, I've heard the only difference between the chip designed to fit in
the "Vacancy" :)  slot of new 486SX's and the one that will be offered
to current DX owners is pin placement. I guess Intel will just "disable"
the coprocessor on the SX doublers. Anybody know any more about this?

Hello out there...  I currently have an Orchid ProdesignerIIs card with
1MB on the card.  I am thinking about going through Dell and getting
the ATI Ultra card.  I had several questions I was hoping some of you
could answer:

1) Does the ATI Ultra speed up standard VGA or below?
2) Would there be any difference of speed if I sold my Orchid and
   bought a cheap VGA card with it?
3) When configuring the card with software apps, should I call it
   an Orchid or an ATI?
4) Is the board from Dell a 1MB card?
5) Any better deals out there I should know about?  (The current Dell
   price is $299 even if you have never purchased from them.)

Thanks in advance.  Please email if possible.

Hi there,

in the last few weeks I've had trouble with my keyboard when using 
Windows 3.0. From time to time the computer generates a beep on
the speaker. After this beep it happens very often that the keyboard
is either not working at all or producing only different characters
than the key pressed (it seems like a different speed setting when 
using a modem). 

I never had problems without Windows, but I don't work very often 
without Windows. (I'm one of the few guys who are doing nearly 
everything from within Windos ;-) )

BTW, this effect has started at the time (as far as I remember) since
I've installed an IIT coprocessor, but cannot see how this should
affect the keyboard.

I've tried to change my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file for not
using any unnecessary drivers and TSRs, but without success.
I've also tried to use different Mouse drivers, also with no change
in behaviour.

Any hints, help or other comments are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have a 286-16Mhz just started not going to floppy at all.  Changed the
controller to three different ones (all brand new), and still can not get
to the floppy drives.

We put a meter on, and what happens is: IRQ 6 comes on at turn on, but
when the memory test starts it goes off, and never comes back.  What could
be causing this problem?  What can I swap out and replace to get the floppy
back working?  Please write me e-mail, as I do not read these newsgroups.

the period of time during which the purchaser is eligible for a refund 
if the price decreases is 30 days from the date of purchase. 

think about it.  gateway has a 30-day, money-back guarantee.  
theoretically you can return the system in that 30 days if the price 
goes down and reorder it at the new price.  gateway happens to be a 
good egg about it, by just giving you the difference.  it's good 
policy on their part and saves the buyer real money since the cost of returning 
and reordering a system (in nonrefundable shipping charges) would 
probably negate any savings achieved by doing so...

at any rate, if you paid $2945 for their 486-33 less than 30 days ago, 
you are entitled to a $150 refund.  obviously, 30 days from the day  
the price change went into effect, no further refunds will be offered 
(or necessary).

Be careful.  While the Local Bus Video option of the VCom system is
cheaper than the rest, it is also inferior.  It does NOT have an 
S3 based accelerated card.  It uses a plain old SVGA card based on
the Tseng ET4000 chipset.  When shopping for a Local Bus system,
decide whether you want the added speed advantage (25 times) of an S3
based video board (at a cost increase of about $150).

I am buying my 486/50 Local Bus after considerable research in the latest
issues of Computer Shopper from a company called Royal.  They've got the
best pricing and the most versatile configurations I've found.

I will be buying the following:  486/50 Local Bus with S3 video card
				 Sony CPD1604s 17" monitor
				 Quantum LPS240AT 240mb HD w/256K cache
				 3.5" and 5.25" high density drives
				 Focus 9000 keyboard (the best)
				 Full tower case (very nice looking)
				 8 mb ram, 256K cache
				 Windows 3.1, Dos 5.0, High Res Mouse
				 Soundblaster Pro
for a total of $4130.

I am thinking about forgetting about the Soundblaster for a while...until
I find out how good the Gravis Ultrasound and the Adlib Gold 1000 are.

 Is there really a BIG speed difference, or is this local bus thing just

Hopefully I will be able to use MS OS/2 1.30.1 (the version that comes

Actually, the major part of Micronics assembly is done overseas, and
unfinished boards are sent to their Fremont facility for insertion of
final major components (CPU, etc.) and testing.  Most of their 
"manufacturing space" is given over to testing.  This turns off some
buyers, but I don't think their quality has suffered because of it.
In the past, they have been able to beat us on pricing by doing it
this way.  No more.

Last I heard, Micronics is allowed to sell to the gov't as a USA
made board.

I am considering purchasing the 386/40 system adverticed by PC BRAND

Thanks,

Weekly posting:

The 2400 ---> 9600 "upgrade" file is a hoax. Attempting to implement it
