Syscons sets the keyboard control mode bits to be 0x4d.  Linux sets
this to be 0x65.  On linux I know this is EKI + SYS + DMS + KCC.
FreeBSD should be KCC + SYS + EKI + ???.

Can anybody comment on these differences and/or point me at a good and
readily availble reference?  Is there a good reference for all the
"esoteric" PC things: DMA, Timer chips, interrupts, etc?  I have the
mindshare books, and those are good, as far as they go, but I need
something better.

Thanks a bunch for any help on this...
