Using 101-Keyboard with COMPAQ SLT/286 Under Windows

ID: Q65892


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a


SUMMARY

If you are using the optional 101-key, plug-in keyboard on a COMPAQ SLT/286 with Microsoft Windows version 3.0, choose "PC-XT type 84 key" keyboard when installing Windows. This keyboard does not function properly if Windows is installed for a 101-key keyboard.


MORE INFORMATION

Even with the 101-key keyboard plugged into the SLT/286, the keyboard controller chip is still set up for an 84-key keyboard. This controller is not capable of using the codes for an actual 101-key keyboard. The extended keyboard keys, such as F11, F12, and the CTRL+arrow keys sequence, cannot be used with the 101-key keyboard on a COMPAQ SLT/286.
