Hi there, Oops, it seems to point to me ;-)
The keyboard buffer is a BIOS resource, and it many cases DOS (standard CON device) just relies on BIOS to do this work. BIOS extensions to the BIOS keyboard handling (namely KEYB) could easily implement this, but: - I try myself to recycle BIOS stuff as much as possible and rewrite less - I haven't felt the need to do it When you are using STRINGS in KEYB, then a secondary bigger buffer is used (from which info is transfered to the primary BIOS one), but it is because your strings can be big enough. I'll annotate it within KEYB wishes to be able to use this secondary bigger buffer with a KEYB switch.
