Reinstalling Windows and Keyboard Compatibility

The MS Windows 3.0 or later setup program may not recognize the keyboard
supplied with your Tandy 2500 SX/25 when reinstalling Windows.  The proper
keyboard selection to make is "Enhanced 101 or 102 Key US and non US 
Keyboards".  The following is an example of the Windows setup screen with 
the proper keyboard selected.
