Well, I've got `69 up and running, top, "ps -u work" (of course!) (still
have that damn closing paren problem in X tho.. any help?) all "mission
critical" apps work, still got a "POP" in Doom tho. PPP works
(obviously!)

Gotta question about the keyboard driver. I have an OmniKey/101 keyboard
that has been getting the "keyboard error" message randomaly for along
time now, maybe even since the 1.2.xx series, it seems that when the
keyboard driver gets a scancode of 0xff is when I get the message. Does
anyone have `intimate' knowledge about the OnmiKey? what cause's this
"ff" ? Is this really an error? I don't seem to have any other kinda
problem with it. Should I define KBD_IS_FOCUS_9000? WTH is a Focus 9000
anyway, the keyboard for HAL?

It took along time for it to get through the haze in my brain, but I was
having problems with the cdu31a driver not recognizing my drive, till I
realized that I HAD to say NO INTERUPT, why not make it "assume" if no
second parameter is given, there is no interupt? If someone HAS an
interupt CAPABILITY on their board, they could add it. IMHO (not!) MOST
interface board in the REAL world for this CDROM DON'T have an interupt
available, so why make it mo harder? c'mon now, I really don't have the
time to go through EVERY file

TIA
