I'm afraid in that case, this one's outside of my own somewhat limited area of knowledge. AFAIK the loader uses the BIOS to process the keyboard input, a wall I've been banging my own head against lately, so I'm a bit surprised that it's stopped playing; but beyond that, I'm not sure. Hopefully one of the more knowledgable types will wade in at this point... --2180312168-1404120102-1266925586=:98337--
