#Keyboard probs
4 messages in this thread
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
You don't REALLY have 1.2 ROMs, do you?? That would mean the hard disk
wouldn't autoboot.

Yes, I really have 1.2 ROMs. No, the hard disk doesn't autoboot. Is that a
problem???

Not if you don't WANT it to autoboot, but most people do. It shouldn't be
causing your problems, though.
