"I downloaded the new MILO images from gatekeeper.dec.com. MILO loads via console and starts allright, but then comes the MILO> prompt with lots O>O>O>0> (three lines or so) garbage on the screen and keyboard doesn' work. Any hints?"

Yes, do you have a serial line connected to COM port 1? Milo attempts to
read that line (or rather, the images that I build do). If there's
something connected, you'll see garbage. As for the keyboards, I've just
taken Jay Estabrooks improved keyboard init code and a keyboard that I have
that didn't work now works. You should also note that when Milo is loaded
via ARC (as you are presumably doing) it does *not* init the keyboard as
the WNT ARC firmware has already done that.

Let me know of further progress/problems.
