- 1) Check the BIOS, see if it's an old one. AMI BIOS
- should be at revision F, if I'm not mistaken. This is the
- Keyboard BIOS, that is. (Not the system BIOS.)
-
- 2) Check the A20 line setting. Although the A20
- problem should not happen with OS/2, DOS programs loaded
- high may trash the A20, which is connected to the keyboard
- controller. Stuck CTRL, ALT, etc. keys are not uncommon
- on DOS machines with A20 set wrong. The A20 setting should
- be in your system-BIOS setup menu.
-
- 3) Someone also told me that there's a bug in OS/2
- somewhere. Find and apply the latest patches around. I haven't
- followed this newsgroup all summer, so I don't know if stuck
- keyboard is a common problem in OS/2.
