- Yeah, I've heard that some people have been having these problems. (In fact,
- the January 1993 issue of Amazing Computing mentions that someone was having a
- problem with some of the "cherry" keyboards on older machines). Which machine
- you using? How old is it? (I never encountered any keyboard lockups when
- testing it - my machine at home is a rev4.4 B2000 running a 22MHz 68030, and
- I've not had any such lockups, either.) My best guess is that it's a hardware
- problem similar to what the guy in AC reported.
- I've not been following A10 1.5 for a couple of months now, but Sierra
- customer support might have some more information. If all else fails, call a
- guy named Jack Nichols and ask him if he knows any more beef about it. (Tell
- him I sent you). There is no patch for A10 1.5 (Amiga). Unfortunately, that
- game was released just before we dropped Amiga support. <Frown>
- I honestly don't know what else to tell you, Mike. I've never been able to
- reproduce the keyboard lockups, so my best guess is that it's a hardware
- thing. Any more information you can give would help. (Please Email). Thanks.
