Anyone out there experienced slow keyboard response in DOS mode
using a non-ded 2.2 server?

I have 2 machines which have both had this problem,
both are 386-33 machines, one with a Phoenix bios and the
other with an AMI bios.

The AMI machine was fixed by turning CPU caching off,
but the Phoenix bios does not allow that, so the only solution
I have at the moment is to drop the CPU clock down to 8MHz.

It only seems to be bios keyboard calls which cause the problem, as
I have some applications which use direct keyboard interrupts which work
fine.

Is there a proper fix for this?
