Here is a curious problem that I'm having with my 486 DX2 66, running DOS 6.22.: When the computer has been idle for a short while (no keypresses for a couple of seconds), the first keypress I make is not registered, but the second is and then everything is picked up as normal, until I let it idle for a little while again. Any clues?

What's your keyboard ?

It's a Tulip computer system so the keyboard is also "Tulip". I guess it's just rebranded though. I can check if it has some other model number on it when I get home from work. Any ideas?

EDIT:

It's a PS/2 keyboard.
