Msg 46431 is 15 line(s) on 08/19/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ROY LIPSCOMB re: R/PROBLEM WITH 20 MHZ 286 Any chance it could be an enhanced keyboard - looking for the del key that's not part of the numeric pad? At first it sounded like the KB was bad but like you say ESC worked. Hmmm. The AT disk controller could be too slow for the motherboard - go into SETUP and see what you can do (he said, with frustration on his mind, knowing SETUP doen't work!). How about completely pulling the hard disk controller, and booting a floppy? It might give you a 1701 error (Hard disk controller failure) but might let you boot the diskette. "maybe" you could somehow figure how to get into setup (like by poking around the ROMS in DEBUG). You say you have an EVEN and a KB ROM. Sounds like you should have an even and an odd. BUT the fact that the msgs come out OK ("Press DEL to run setup"), you should be OK. I presume you have a 1.2M drive, right? I have some "extra" 360 1/2 hi 5.25"ers around here if that would help. >Function:?
