Columbia and Keytronics 5151 Keyboard In 2.x PSS ID Number: Q20812 Article last modified on 04-11-1988 PSS database name: D_MPlan

2.x

MS-DOS

Summary: The Keytronic 5151 keyboard does not work with Multiplan on the Columbia PC. The following symptoms have been reported:


 * 1) Garbage characters on the screen.
 * 2) The keyboard sometimes acts as if the SHIFT key is depressed when it is not.

This appears to be a problem with Columbia’s BIOS. Using an IBM keyboard may help, but it probably will not eliminate the problem. Multiplan 3.xx has not been tested on the Columbia PC.
