This machine has yet another problem, by the way. When I set up the partitions and wanted to set sizes for them, the "0" key produced "?" instead, so I let sizes like e.g. 41111. When I wanted to set names for them, many of the alphabetical keys produced numbers instead. The BIOS is screwed up.
Can you plug a USB keyboard into your new laptop? If you can, there may be a workaround. On a US 101+ key PS/2 keyboard on a DOS boot or a Linux tty[1-6] one can type Alt-(keypad)048 to put a 0 on the screen. I just tested that this works on tty2 in 11.0 running dfsee for Linux. I haven't tried DFSDOS, but it should work there as well, since I know it works from DOS command prompt. It does not work in Konsole, so I suppose it won't work in any Xorg's DTE. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
