When running Microsoft Windows on Tandon Laptop computers, you experience
keyboard failures, Unrecoverable Application Errors (UAEs), or general
protection (GP) faults with some BIOS versions. To avoid these problems:

 - All 386sx laptop computers should use Tandon BIOS and not Phoenix BIOS

 - BIOS version should be at least the following:

MORE INFORMATION
================

To obtain a new Tandon BIOS, call the Tandon dealer that sold the machine or
call Tandon directly.

NOTE: A Tandon BIOS, unlike a Phoenix BIOS, is not identified on the screen when
you start your computer. The BIOS version should be displayed at the top-right
corner of the CMOS setup screen.
