I have a ibm-xt clone with dtk bios dated on 1981. Early of last month, frequently my computer showed k-b error(keyboard error) in a boot time. I have realized my keyboard was too old. So I bought new keyboard but it had stiil the same problem(that keyboard was keytronioc keyboard for both xt and at). So I exchanged the other keyboard in the same store. But still the same problem occured. Most of new keyboard causes k-b error in my computer. But when I plugged old xt keyboard installed in the other computer, that problem disappeared. So I think that this problem is due to bios but I don't know exactly. Please give me an insight of it. Choi.
