I have an AMI-25 running ISC Unix. The only problem I have had is that once I
booted ISC the keyboard key repeat was much to sensitive and made typing 
difficult. The problem is much less apparent when I use X-11, probably due
to system overhead.  Has anyone else experienced the problem with the 
keyboard repeat being too sensitive?
