Just a quick note to see if anyone else has experienced this phenomenon ???

I have just set up a matching pair of machines with the following spec:

Intel Pentium 100Mhz, SIS Chipset
Adaptec 2940 PCI Scsi Adapter.
Fujitsu M2903S 2GB SCSI-2 HDD
Sony CDU-76S Quad Speed SCSI-2 CD-ROM
32MB Ram

(Both pretty quick machines !!!!!!!!)

Occasionally (it has now happened on both machines) the keyboard locks up. It 
is rectified by simply unplugging and replugging them but I wondered if it  has 
happened to anyone else ????

I suppose it could be a hardware problem but as it happens on both machines it 
makes you wonder whether it is an incompatibility problem ?????

My other BSD machine is fine (a 486DX 500MB ide (never mind) 16MB Ram etc etc.)

Thanks

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean the world isn't out to get me ......
