1) Thanks, Eric. I set LBACACHE as suggested for SATA drive:

INSTALLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\LBACACHE.COM 4096 TUNS

This, however, resulted in the following error after Config.sys:

"Bad or missing command interpreter"

After removing TUNS Autoexec.bat resumed running without problems. I guess it depends on the drive. Would you suggest anything else in place of TUNS or just leave this blank as is?

INSTALLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\LBACACHE.COM 8192

2) Running US-Eng keyboard straight from BIOS (which is US anyways) sounds like a good idea but I still can't get the right ALT key working. The following approach didn't solve the problem either (kb2pre4.zip):

LH KEYB US,,C:\FDOS\BIN\KEYBOARD.SYS

Maybe it's because it's multimedia keyboard.

INSTALLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\LBACACHE.COM BUF 12 DRV C

see LBACACHE /? for the current syntax. I think you should
use something like LBACACHE 4096 TUNS (if you do not use
SCSI / SATA / RAID, the TUNS is not needed). You may want
to add the FLOP option for floppy caching, too. DRV is not
needed as drives are autodetected.

What's the proper keyboard driver for US-Eng keyboard?

The best is probably not using a driver at all as the BIOS default is US.
