I have been cut off from the net for a while so I havn't been able to
pursue this problem.

I posted a question about using a Z-183 with an external keyboard about
a month ago.  Thanx to all that responded.  However I do know about the
XT - AT switch under the ZDS logo on the 101 keyboards which was the most
common suggestion.  The ROM BIOS version of this particular 183 is 2.9D.
What I am wondering is if a BIOS upgrade will do the trick for me.  Or is
there a keyboard controller upgrade possibly?

Any help will be appreciated.  Even though we are a ZDS service center
I can't get anywhere with ZDS.  My calls to the Customer Response Center
so-called 'hotline' have produced no information.  The tech I talked to
there claimed it could not be done.  I however have E-mail from many folks
who say they are, even as we speak, typing away on their Z-183's with full-
sized keyboards.

So I know it can be done.  Again - any and all help will be appreciated.
I can be reached at kent@sun.ufnet.ufl.edu or kent@digital.ufl.edu.

Thanx in advance.
