This program extends the PC keyboard buffer to 200 bytes, speeds up the
keyboard repeat rate, and exits. It doesn't stay resident, so it takes up no
memory.
The original keyboard buffer is redefined from its original 0040:001E
through 0040:003E range, to 0040:0170 through 0040:0300. The latter is above
the Bios Data Area, and below IO.SYS, in an area that is only used to read
directory sectors during the boot process. Someday it may be defined for
something and this method will no longer work, but in the meantime it can
function as a 400-byte buffer for 200 keystrokes.
If you discover any future operating systems or bios roms that conflict
with using this area as a keyboard buffer, please let me know.
