This is a question about some quite deep internals of the keyboard
processor. I hope someone (perhaps at atari) can give me some
hints.
By testing I found that the keyboard processor generates interrupts
only for the first two keys you press without releasing them. If
you press a third one holding the other two down nothing happens.
An exception is the case where one of the three keys is a 'shift',
'control' or 'alternate' key. I know that the keyboerd processor
has an own small operating system in rom and some Bytes of Ram Space
and I know how to write into that Ram.
The Question: Is it possible to get at least three 'additive'
keypresses sent by changing something in the keyboard processors
Ram space and what is to change ? I don't need the mouse so I can
use all the space containing variables for mouse processing to
define additional routines or so. Any help is appreciated.
