                Win 95 Keyboard Locks-Up when Using Netware 3.x or 4.x.

    PROBLEM

    When bringing down a NOVELL file server running Netware 3.x or 4.x,
    the file server will incorrectly sense a key stuck situation and times out.
    The system then halts.

    CAUSE

    After entering "EXIT" then "ENTER" the keyboard will incorrectly set
    a stuck key error condition.  This would send a command to the host to
    disable keyboard scan and wait for a system command.  If there is no
    response,the keyboard would hang.

    SOLUTION

    Replace keyboard P/N# 234347-201 with P/N# 234336-201.
