The NMB keyboard I bought with this 486/33 in 1991 seems to periodically
be going off-line. I can switch the KVM to a dead hole and back, which
bring it back with the default repetition delay/rate. But I've been
trying "new" keyboards. All these other AT-DIN5 keyboards, even the
ones that don't have "Windows Keys", give me an extra beep at boot and
every time a mode command/change happens, e.g. DV/Windows. However,
NT/4 won't boot with them. Yes, I understand the 1991-era BIOS code is
involved, (no, these are UV-EPROMS from Micronics, there is NO BIOS
upgrade available), and there is a KVM switch in the middle (I _think_
once when I tried NT/4 with one of these keyboards connected directly it
worked, but I couldn't swear to it right now). I'm presuming the
keyboards are trying to use different protocols. Does anybody else have
any experience with different AT keyboards behaving similarly?
