            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.
