I've hooked a procedure that reads the keyboard port to the timer intr.
Unfortunately, the interrupt intervals are still not fast enough to trap
all scan codes especially the release code of a key when another key is
pressed.  What can i do ?  How does INTR 09 behave - will that help ?
I need to do this in the background. Will a TSR help?
