You don’t really need to reprogram the keyboard controller. You just need to take control away from the BIOS. It is what happens in my game engine. Now processing the keystrokes at that level gets a little weird. The incoming scan codes can very widely based on the keyboard controllers state. There aren’t just E0+ codes. Plus on top of that, you can get multiple codes for a single keypress or release. Nothing insurmountable. :-) Jerome > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
