On a Phillips XT you can kiss your keyboard controller goodbye, iv'e seen it
happen on at least 3 occasions. In only one of the 3 instances i have plugged
the keyboard in myself, in the other 2 instances the person who called me for
help did it himself because "the computer asked him to".

I'll tell 'ya, never trust a computer! :-)
