Re: keyboard/mouse lockup: PS/2 Model 35 at WFWG Password Prompt

RAM  in these systems is a 4MB and 2 x 2MB). RAM is either 70  or 
80ns.  The 4MB SIMMs have rows of switches but these are set  the 
same  on machines which do and don't manifest the problem.  Speed 
differences in RAM are not a differentiating variable either.

As  I said some time back, IBM look to Microsoft as soon as  they 
hear its WFWG and I can't find anything on microsoft's site.

I  tried changing the NICs IRQ, ROM and I/O address. They  are  8 
bit SMC cards and have jumpers for 280,IRQ 3, 300, IRQ 5 or soft. 
The ROM is either soft or D800. I tried all options, and excluded 
the  ROM  area  in  config.sys and  via  an  EMMexclude  line  in 
SYSTEM.INI. 

None of the above made any difference.

For  what  it's  worth, even though the mouse  and  keyboard  had 
locked  up, I could still access files on the disk  from  another 
networked PC.
