I am currently writing a keyboard macro program in assembly (grunt, snort)
and will have to discriminate between XT-type and AT-type keyboards (101 keys). 
Could somebody please answer the following questions:

- Is there any way to check whether an AT-type keyboard is used in a 
  certain configuration?
- Is there any need to check this, or can you just always use INT16 AH=10h
  (Extended Keyboard Read) to read a key?

Any help would greatly be appreciated,

Michiel Huisjes.
