Eric proposed: "For this, you start DEBUG, then type: a cs:100 mov ax,0305 mov bx,0000 int 16 int 20
g q " As Ah=3 int 16h is marked as PCJr only: INT 16 - KEYBOARD - SET DELAYS (PCjr ONLY) REG AH = 3 AL = 0: RESET TYPEMATIC AL = 1: INCREASE INITIAL DELAY AL = 2: INCREASE CONTINUING DELAY AL = 3: INCREASE BOTH DELAYS AL = 4: TURN OFF TYPEMATIC in https://groups.google.com/g/net.micro.pc/c/yg4oazZOA7g/m/uwO-gYOTi2gJ I hesitate to go there... but did not get the full RBIL. https://info.wsisiz.edu.pl/~bse26236/batutil/help/MODESTRS.HTM but I am a bit unsure these options are supported by FreeDOS because: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Mode does not mention them. Last I was thinking many keyboards are now USB rather than PS/2... and I think the 8042 chip handle typematic on DOS... so I was first thinking about BIOS emulation of PS/2 keyboard and mouse in BIOS options... but your keyboard would just not work if these options were causing problem I think. ---- Activé ven., 10 juin 2022 14:48:48 -0400 Eric Auer <e.a...@jpberlin.de> écrit ---- > > Tom, > > >> In DOS I was able to press and hold a key and the key would repeat. > >> Great for arrow and page keys.
