- Otherwise most of the /dev entires look a bit stupid, with 1980 as the year
- of their creation and use and so...
-
- I seem to have somehow missed most parts of the repeated-keys-dont-generate-
- interrupts story, so I'm a bit struck by surprise with MiNT 1.10's behaviour
- with the console. Almost looks like a daemon is polling it. :-) Keys come in
- chunks 4-5 times a second, not when they're actually pressed, but just 4-5
- times a second. Looks extremely annoying when typing on the command line or
- in an editor. :-( Anyone interested in me saying that I don't like this and
- heavily prefer the original 1.09 behaviour?
