Problems with Zenith 286 Desktop Systems with 84-Key Keyboards (65170)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.0

This article was previously published under Q65170

SYMPTOMS

The 286 desktop Zenith with the 84-key keyboard may miss or repeat keystrokes when you are using Microsoft Windows version 3.0.

CAUSE

This behavior is due to a problem with the scan controller in the keyboard. Zenith does not plan to update the controller because the chip is not removable.

WORKAROUND

The only solution is to upgrade to a different keyboard that the ROM BIOS and systems control processor are able to support. A Zenith 101-key keyboard or a compatible 84-key keyboard other than Zenith's may resolve this problem.
