Don't bother, even the Mylex 386 (in my case Packard Bell Force 286)
can have the same problems. Twice it has died with "keyboard Failure
-- Keyboard Data Line Failure" errors just before memory check.
Unfortunately, in my case, even though the PB was still under
warranty, the technical response/warranty response from PB was so
TERRIBLE that I am (luckily) getting my money back from where I bought
it and have already picked up a competitor's unit (ALR).
At least in my case, the only fix is to replace the motherboard.
Good Luck!
