AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0205A 09/18/86
AST-BSC / COMPAQ PORTABLE
Problem:
When customers have attempted to use our AST-BSC Version 1.4 on a
COMPAQ Portable and the DEL key is used, they have encountered
the following error conditions:
1) The cursor is positioned in front of the data
to be deleted. When the DEL key is pressed,
no action appears to take place. If the ENTER
key is pressed, the screen re-appears but the
data which was intended to be deleted by the
DEL key no longer exists.
2) The cursor is positioned in front of the data
to be deleted. When the DEL key is pressed
numerous times (customer is attempting to
delete multiple characters in a word), the
screen begins to scroll upward one line at a
time for each DEL key pressed, instead of
deleting the data. The status line also
scrolls.
Solution:
The problem has been duplicated by AST. To solve this problem,
the customer must contact COMPAQ Customer Service and request the
Revision G PROM Upgrade Kit.
