Hrm... now it's been a while since I've done DOS assembler, so this maybe incorrect, but IIRC, 0x40 is the keyboard segment. 0x40:0x0 is the head of the keyboard buffer 0x40:0x2 is the tail and the next 16 bytes is the ring-buffer. So I have no idea what 0xffff would be, except perhaps a miscalculation. Although, you may be able to expand the size of the keyboard buffer, and the tail could have ended up there... Take it with a grain of salt, but I believe the above is true, but, like I said before it's been six or eight years since I've dealt with it. -- Brian Cully ``And when one of our comrades was taken prisoner, blindfolded, hung upside-down, shot, and burned, we thought to ourselves, `These are the best experiences of our lives''' -Pathology (Joe Frank, Somewhere Out There)
