Don't bother, even the Mylex 386 (in my case Packard Bell Force 286) can have the same problems. Twice it has died with "keyboard Failure -- Keyboard Data Line Failure" errors just before memory check. Unfortunately, in my case, even though the PB was still under warranty, the technical response/warranty response from PB was so TERRIBLE that I am (luckily) getting my money back from where I bought it and have already picked up a competitor's unit (ALR). At least in my case, the only fix is to replace the motherboard. Good Luck! -- Marc Ries ries@venice.sedd.trw.com (ARPA) somewhere!trwind!venice!ries (UUCP) #include
