ASUS A7V266-E bios 1011 - AMD thunderbird XP 2400 - 3x256 DDR266 RAM -
boot up screen advises "keyboard error" - so, I press F1 and she goes
windows 98se sometimes, sometimes only to the windows startup screen - when
it goes to windows, no mouse action at all - had this problem once before
and changed keyboard and mouse and fine for a month - changed the CMOS
battery, changed the mouse/keyboard combo several times, still no go - I
notice when i hit "delete" for the BIOS setup, it beeps crazy
slow-fast-nothing-fast-slow, etc instead of steady - . and when scrolling
down the BIOS options, it does same; slow, fast, nothing, slow, fast, etc. -
BIOS options are all accessable, used "setup defaults" to no avail - any
experiences like this? and help greatly appreciated!! regards, Donn

Have you patched W98 for more than 512meg of ram?
 
Sounds keyboard connector is loose OR a key is stuck down (my keypad ENTER
got stuck down, got stuck in a humongous endless loop in boot) OR the
keyboard is bad OR OR OR...

Yeah. Ditch W98. XP is about 70000% more stable on an Athlon XP anything.
