I have an application that needs to process an IBM AT keyboard at the scan
code level, but must run on various machines, not necessarily Intel CPUs.  I
was using the BIOS routines, but I must use an extended keyboard with many extra
keys, some of which do not map into the XT scan codes as done by the AT
BIOS, so it appears that no key is pressed.  Does anyone know of public
domain routines in C for doing the keyboard interrupt functions of the AT
BIOS?  Pointers to good sources of information would also be much
appreciated.

I will summarize as appropriate if there is any general interest.

Thanks alot!
