I had that problem (non-functional keyboard) with SoundTracker2.0 (I thought
later versions fixed it, but I could well be wrong). The problem is that your
harddrive controller driver has a level 2 int server, which also happens to be
used by one of the CIAs (which just happens to be used for keyboard IO). Ok,
what's the problem? Well, due to some stupid programming, ST fails if the usual
 OS keyboard-handling routine is not the first on the chain. I solved it on my
system (2090 controller) by modifying the driver to use a priority of zero (les
s than zero is OK too) when installing its level 2 server. Of course, you may b
e experiencing a different problem. :-) Hope this makes sense to someone...
