Sorry if this has been covered many times before, but I don't get a chance
to read this group often.  Anyway - sometimes when I power on my A2000,
the caps lock LED flashes at about a 1 or 2 Hz rate. The keyboard is then
useless and nothing typed gets recognized.  It seems to have started
when I installed the new Kickstart 1.3 ROM, and only happens once in
awhile.  Usually powering down for a few seconds eliminates the problem,
but sometimes I have to wait tens of minutes before I can turn on the power
again.

I tried Commodore customer support, but they were less than useful.
What is the flashing LED trying to tell me?

Thanks,
Gary Jenkins
