I have experienced the Phantom Typist a couple of times lately, only since
I bought a hard disk though (a Third Coast Technologies 45MB SCSI which I
would reccomend to anyone). The software I use is all my own and all the
keyboard interactions are via evnt_multi. No fancy keyboard tricks! Could
the use of fast DMA be affecting anything?
