SYMPTOMS
========

It has been reported that HIMEM.SYS locks the Hyundai 286c keyboard.

NOTE: It has also been reported that this switch setting works correctly on the
Hyundai 286b.

CAUSE
=====

HIMEM.SYS is installing the wrong handle for this type of machine. Using the
/m:<number> switch, documented in the README.TXT, allows HIMEM.SYS to
change the handle installed. Changing the handle to #7 corrects the
keyboard-locking problem.

The following is a sample HIMEM.SYS line for CONFIG.SYS:

       DEVICE=c:\himem.sys /m:7
