That is good to hear!  Unfortunately, while what you say rings true
(I could find the keyboard wait in bios.S) doing anything about it 
is vastly non-trivial to me.  Isn't this (wait for character on
serial port) required for lots of DOS programs?  Is anyone with
knowledge of the internals interested in implementing it? I hope
so.
