I want to thank all the 477 experts for their response and help. I will
be on a hunting trip for a PC XT keyboard somewhere in the basement.
Thanks.

Subject: ABI 477 Sequencer
We have an ABI 477 sequencer in our lab. It was
moth-balled for over a year and until recently we tried to determine if
it is still operational. This is the first difficulty we have
encountered.
The computer will boot up from the hard drive and try to
launch the application software and ceased. Try to boot it up from the
system disk and it will fail reading drive A and give the standard DOS
message like Abort, Retry or... Without a keyboard input, there is not
much a user can do.
Since it is an old instrument, I don't know if it worth
having the service engineer from PE Biosystem to try to fix it or should
I consider getting rid of it.
May be someone can give us some pointers on what the
problem might be and is there a quick fix for it?
