Thus spoke the keyboard of goossens@cs.few.eur.nl (Rogier Goossens):
>Relocating and expanding the keyboard buffer is, under certain circumstances,
>not that difficult at all. 
>As the four pointers in the bios data area are near pointers, relative to
>segment 0x0040, the keyboard buffer must be located between the addresses
>0040:0000 and 1040:0000 (hex). If DOS ends at a segment address lower than
>0x1040, the remaining memory can be used to relocate the keyboard buffer. 
>It suffices to allocate the memory, and set the four bios keyboard buffer
>pointers to point to it. A 64-byte program could do it.
>
>If you possess DOS 5.0, and it is loaded high, there certainly is enough
>memory. When DOS is not loaded high, there probably isn't.
>
>I have written a small (2k) assembly program to relocate the keyboard buffer. 
>It can also resize it on request. It could easily be modified to insert 
>characters into the buffer.
>
>I can post it (binary and/or source) to this (or another) group if enough 
>people are interested. (it's about 15 pages uncompressed + 2k binary)

Yes please!
