We've been having a recurrent problem with our Model 80 PC, and unfortunately, 
we can't find PS/2 hardware reference manual to look this up.  The symptoms
are 1) case problems (letters displayed in upper case with cap locks off
and all shifted characters displayed - ie, no periods, only >s) and 2)
the PC won't boot, after displaying the memory, the screen looks like

   1024K
   36 301

    162

If anybody has seen this, or can look it up in their hardware manual and
let me know what it is, I'd appreciate it.  It appears to go away as
intermittently as it arrives, but it has us stumped.

Thanks for any info.
