Has anyone encountered a problem with the AST Prem 386 (non C model) running IBM
OS/2 1.2 not being able to use the separate cursor keys in PM (works fine
in text mode).  I've upgraded the original 1.3 bios to 2.3 including the
rom keyboard controller chip to no avail.  What else is involved?  AST
not very knowledgeable / supportive on this problem. Thanks in
advance.
