Can somebody please help ? I am attempting to implement my own keyboard 
handler and I cannot get it to work. My system either crashes or locks 
up. As this is my first attempt at such things, I don't know where I am 
going wrong.

If you can help me out, or suggest some links that might help, please do.
My code is outlined below...

..
..
void OldKeyISR();		// For old handler
void NewKeyISR();		// For new handler

_go32_dpmi_seginfo Old_Handler,New_Handler;
int Key;
..
..

void NewKeyISR()
   {
   asm("
      sti
      inb	$0x60,%%al
      xorb	%%ah,%%ah
      movw	%%ax,_Key
      inb	$0x61,%%al
      orb	$0x82,%%al
      outb	%%al,$0x61
      andb	$0x7f,%%al
      outb	%%al,$0x61
      movb	$0x20,%%al
      outb	%%al,$0x20"
      :		// no output registers
      :		// no input registers
      : "%eax"
      );

   // KEYPRESS PROCESSED HERE
   }

void InstallKeyboard()
   {
   New_Handler.pm_offset = (long unsigned int)NewKeyISR;
   New_Handler.pm_selector = _go32_my_cs();

   _go32_dpmi_allocate_iret_wrapper(&New_Handler);
   _go32_dpmi_get_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(0x09,&Old_Handler);
   _go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(0x09,&New_Handler);
   }

void RemoveKeyboard()
   {
   _go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(0x09,&Old_Handler);
   }
     

Any suggestions ???

Thanks,
Andy
