Re: 486 PC. Keyboard problem.
Just to add: If you type a DOS command which generates more than a screen of output which promptly flies off up the screen out of sight, then appending /P to the end of the command will make it display each page with a pause. Press a key (possibly space, possibly just any key) to get it to move to the next page.
Example:
DIR /P will display the contents of the current directory page by page until all of the contents of the directory have been shown.
With the MODE command I think you can limit the amount of output from that by entering
MODE COM1:
In which case it will only generate information specific to that COM port.
