I plugged in my usb keyboard for no response. Now I guess I'm stuck. I can't shut down, can't enter anyting with keyboard. I can't get to the off state and I guess I would just have to let the bridge battery drain then start back up? I didn't want to run this utility and was just looking for system recovery tools. Looks like I need to recover from recovering?
Uh oh. :down:

Definitely let the battery drain and then let us know what happens when you get it restarted.

In case you are curious about learning more about Digital Research's DOS, this short historical editorial is well done. I owned a company in 1991 that loaded DR DOS as the default OS but when the day Windows 3.1 was available we had a line of customers wanting MS Windows. We never sold another copy after the Windows 3.1 launch because the two were not compatible.
