    A20 line cannot be handled

    Where can I find a Intel 8042 Keyboard controller that I can install ?
    I've had no success in locating one yet.

    Aside from that, is there a way to reset the keyboard without replacing this chip?

    [Early 1997 Mainboard]

    Thanks
    Stephen

    If you are getting beep codes associated with A20 line, your best bet it to replace the motherboard OR possibly you can get a USB keyboard, though it is not likely to help. If you have an microsoft ANYKEY keyboard, I might be able to help you. There should be a suspend macro key that you can press.
