- Yeah, "keyb" is a real pain. it seems to totally take over the keyboard
- interrupt:-( On machines which can change turbo speed with <ALT><CTRL><+>
- loading keyb stops this working.
- I had an XT and this was the only way of changing speed - there was no command
- on disk to do so. So I cheated, wrote my own keyboard remapper that only
- affected the few keys that needed altering, and for every other key
- passed control back to the old interrupt. So speed control etc all worked.
-
- So....if you think your machine doesn't work because the speed can not be
- changed from the keyboard, it might be because you have keyb loaded!
-
- NOTE: This was true on dos 3.2, 3.3 - never tried with dos5, I prefer my
- (smaller) interrupt!
