;
; This program speeds up the repeat action of the IBM PC and XT
; keyboard. After installation, a keystroke begins repeating about
; 1/4 second after the initial keystroke and the repeats occur at
; about twice the normal speed. These delay and rate parameters may
; be modified. The program uses the 55ms timer interrupt to augment
; the speed of the keyboard. The basic idea is to have the timer
; interrupt check to see if the key has been released. If not, then
; it stuffs a keystroke into the BIOS keyboard buffer. Notes: This
; program must be used with DOS 2.x or later. It is a COM format
; program, so it must be processed by EXE2BIN.
;------------------------------------------------------------------
;=== program equates ===
REPT_DELAY equ 5 ;number of 55ms intervals to skip before
; the first repeat. 5 = 275ms = about
; 1/4 second. Use at least 2 to avoid
; "key bounce"
REPT_RATE equ 1 ;Select from: 0 = 29 repeats per second
; 1 = 20 repeats per second
; 2 = 16 repeats per second
; 3 = 13 repeats per second
; 4 or more = standard repeat rate
BIOS_DATA_SEG equ 40h ;These addresses are listed
BUF_START equ 1eh ; in the Technical Reference manual
BUF_END equ 3eh
BUF_HEAD_ADDR equ 1ah
BUF_TAIL_ADDR equ 1ch
ALT_NUM_BUF equ 19h
FALSE equ 0
TRUE equ 1
