That would require more code to keep track of whether it might not have a keyboard, and further delay the complete fix of keeping track of whether it has a keyboard and not issueing keyboard commands when it doesn't have one. (The keyboard interrupts and sends a recognisable scan code when it is plugged in (the same one as for completion of the reset command IIRC). The driver should synchronize the external state with its state when it receives this scan code.) Bruce
