I was planning to use interrupt 16h, AX=0305h, BH=(delay), BL=(rate) to reset
the so called typematic rate in a program I'm writing.  I recall that this
works fine on 286 and subsequent systems, but not on XT's and their ilk.

Can anyone state whether this interrupt causes problems on older machines,
or is merely ineffective?  I don't have an XT with which to experiment.

Thanks in advance.
