Hmm, shouldn't they be at least DELAY(20)'s or so? I suspect one of the reasons why some of the keyboards broke with the old code (which was my main reason to change it) is that the new i586+ machines are too fast so the assumed overhead for small DELAY's turned almost into nop's. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
