The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q79959 SUMMARY
If you are unable to run Microsoft Windows in standard mode on a Unisys
(Sperry) Micro IT personal computer, a few hardware components should be
checked.
According to Unisys technical support, a ROM BIOS version 1.58 and a
101-key keyboard must be used to run Windows in standard mode.
MORE INFORMATION
The Unisys (Sperry) Micro IT, Model #T3137, is an 80286 personal computer
packaged with ROM BIOS version 1.52z and a Sperry Professional 88-key
keyboard. Windows 3.0 real mode works properly on this system; however,
standard mode causes the system to stop responding (hang) or return to an
MS-DOS command line after the initial Microsoft Windows 3.0 logo screen
appears.
There appears to be a conflict between the internal functionality of
the 88-key keyboard and any version of HIMEM.SYS. This can be resolved
by obtaining a 101-key keyboard from Unisys. The "feature number" for
this product is: F5177-00.
ROM BIOS version 1.58 can be obtained from Unisys. The "feature number" for
this part is F496402.
The Unisys products included here are manufactured by Unisys, a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding these products' performance or reliability.
