I'm currently in the process of writing an interrupt handler for both the keyboard and the mouse. I have the protected mode version of the keyboard handler finished, but what I'd like to know is whether I should also have a real mode version of the driver. Somewhere I read that if you are running under windows, so that it uses Windows dpmi server, that you only need a protected mode driver. How about under DOS? Would it be more effecient to have both a real and protected mode driver for both the keyboard handler and the mouse handler? Thanks in advance! Terry Evans tevans AT fastlane DOT net
