Another thing I've noticed about both my Sparcbook 3's (GX and GS) is that
they both lose keystrokes at times. This can be very annoying when you're
trying to type in a password and it misses keystrokes, as no program
(DTlogin, login, ssh) echoes back *'s when you type in a password.)
I've resorted to turning keyclick on, but it's too loud and annoying...
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone else NOT have this
problem?
It doesn't seem to be OS related either, as it seems to happen in the Open
Boot Prom also.
Both the 3GS and the 3GX have had broken pointers, I've fixed one of them
as per the SparcBook hardware hacking SAQ (
