Rajesh, one specialix card has 8 IO ports - ttyW[0-7]. getty fails to

Remove the inittab entry for ttyW8, ttyW9 and ttyW10.

Hmm... Try changing the TERM environment variable - setting it to dumb,
then to vt100, vt102, and later linux-m. One of them should perform
ideally for you.
Then again, that is for display - I don't know what to do for keyboards.
