- I have the same problem. IBM tells me that it is because I have an old
- AMI BIOS. I thought they just recently said the BIOS thing was just a
- rumor? In any case, it seems to me that if OS/2 can see my keyboard
- enough to pass the keystrokes on to a DOS window or a VIO window but
- cannot see part of it in the PM than it is not a BIOS problem; it is a
- bug in OS/2.
