KEYB is meant to be universal, supporting all possible and impossible
keyboard layouts with the help of separate definition files. The last
limitation that I remember is that you cannot say "scancode ... should
be treated as AltGr key" or otherwise redefine shift keys themselves.

If you want a SMALL keyboard driver, I can really recommend MKEYB
(see freedos.org software list). This has more than 20 built-in
keyboard layouts, is a single small file on disk (7kb UPXed) and
has very small memory footprint (512 bytes).

For German keyboard layout, you can also use my kbd-ea2 SYS driver, which
uses 416 bytes of RAM and 485 bytes of disk space. However, the layout
is slightly nonstandard to squeeze out some more bytes. It gives you lots
of extra AltGr-letter combos, though :-).
