  I don't know what's the problem with the keyboard. It could be a
cable although I'd suspect the IO board.

  I get this al of the time on my XL1201 too. When I first got the
machine, Symbolics tried swapping out all of the boards but it still
occurs. About the only part still in common is the hard disk. I'm
hoping that's not the source of the problem. I guess I'd better get
that SCSI disk working soon.

  Unfortunately not that I'm aware of. Hmm, you used to be able to
hook Symbolics keyboards up to a Mac with an interface box. I wonder
if one could be modified to work with a PC? (Having no idea what Macs
used for keyboards!)
