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. Donald Arseneau asnd@triumf.ca
