This bulletin is to inform you of the solution to a problem encountered when
running Lotus 1-2-3 release 3.0 on the Equity LT-286e.
When 1-2-3 release 3.0 is loaded, the keyboard response becomes
extremely erratic. There may long delays before keystrokes are displayed,
keystrokes may not be registered at all or the incorrect keystroke may be
registered. Note that this problem does not occur when an external keyboard
is used.
This is corrected by setting the DOS environment variable DOS16M to 10 prior
to running 1-2-3 release 3.0. This is most easily done in either the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or a batch that is used to load 1-2-3. Here is an
example of the latter:
@ ECHO OFF
SET DOS16M =10
CD 123
LOTUS
CD \
The DOS16M environment variable is then recognized by 1-2-3 and correctly
“syncs up” the keyboard.
