Help! My Amiga 2000 is having keyboard problems. Symptoms: The keyboard doesn't seem to be communicating well with the machine. The CAPS LOCK light keeps flickering. When I press keys, I get erratic results — often nothing at all, sometimes doubled letters, or flashes, or backspacing, or the whole thing goes wild and starts endlessly repeating the same character. I tried another keyboard, which I know is in good condition…same story. My local Commodore dealer, who is a clueless wonder, wants to keep the machine for a few weeks to diagnose the problem. Oh, I guess it would help if I told you about the configuration. What do I have on the machine? What DON'T I have on the machine? A2630 accelerator. 6 MB of 16-bit RAM. A 2091 controller with a Maxtor 210 MB disk drive. Video Toaster. A2088 Bridgeboard. KitchenSYNC in an AT slot. System 1.2 ROMs. Anybody have a clue what might be wrong — something I could tell this dealer to get her on track, or something I could do myself? (I've installed everything in this machine myself, I'm not afraid of its guts.) Thanks, Don
