PR> I use an '91 vintage Micronics 486/33 EISA system daily.  It has a
 PR> Phoenix BIOS.  It's connected to a KV switch and shares the keyboard
 PR> with two other systems.  With some keyboards I get two beeps during
 PR> POST.  When DOS is running I get another higher pitched, shorter beep
 PR> when anything does a MODE command or the equivalent, e.g. going into
 PR> Desqview or Windows.  The keyboards all work fine, but apparently

Oops, they work in DOS, but this system can dual-boot NT/4 workstation.
These keyboards don't work with the BIOS when it's booted in NT/4.

 PR> something isn't getting initialized or queried as expected.  It seems
 PR> to be more common in newer and 104-key keyboards, but not always.

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