Thanks to the people who responded to my query about keyboards on the
new PCI based AlphaStation machines. It appears that if the keyboard
becomes disconnected for some reason then you have to reboot before
the system notices that the keyboard has been replaced.
 
The reason I posted this question was because I have a system which
keeps losing it's keyboard and I was getting tired of rebooting it.
DEC have now agreed to replace the motherboard so hopefully this will
fix the problem.

Note that this is not the case with any of the Turbochannel based
Alphas or VAXstations - so much for progress :-(
