I have a question about keyboards and BIOS'.

I use an '91 vintage Micronics 486/33 EISA system daily.  It has a
Phoenix BIOS.  It's connected to a KV switch and shares the keyboard
with two other systems.  With some keyboards I get two beeps during
POST.  When DOS is running I get another higher pitched, shorter beep
when anything does a MODE command or the equivalent, e.g. going into
Desqview or Windows.  The keyboards all work fine, but apparently
something isn't getting initialized or queried as expected.  It seems
to be more common in newer and 104-key keyboards, but not always.

Anybody got any experience with this?  Is there more difference in
keyboards other than just extra keys and key-codes?  Is there some
difference in the way they initialize?
