Re: IBM Rapid Access Keyboard

Hi Unal,

Six entries, repeated very quickly at bootup time. "RAKi8042", so
definately linked to the RAK:

"The ISR has detected an internal state error in the driver for
\Device\KeyboardPort0." ("Event" is 10, probably in decimal form).

I've examined the binary RAKi8042.sys (flat text editor) & seen some
strings there. No telling which one 10 is, until maybe opened in a
resource editor.

The CD drive on the Industrial is cheesing me off because it has
to be ballasted down by a CD at bootup to read any later on. The (IDE)
drive is on it's side, with tabs out to hold the CD in place. I don't
think it was a problem on the other twin system, so I might swap
drives.
