I have seen this behavior before, but not specifically on the Compuadd. The basic reson for the symptoms is manipulation of the 8042 keyboard controller (in order to use the A20 gate) apparently has some conflict, perhaps with your BIOS. One solution that usually works is to try out a memory manager that is aware of the potential conflicts, such as Quarterdeck, and then use machine type J. Received on Fri Apr 22 1994 - 10:55:02 CEST
