Hello

So far in my asm programs I have always read directly the keyboard matrix. Nice and fast etc
But now I would like to show on screen the 'correct' letter for the matrix input
so that it displays the correct letter letter if you are using an 'irregular' keyboard
(azerty , qwertz, ...) instead of blindly assuming that everybody has a qwerty keyboard.
Is there somewhere a standard way to have this translation done ? a bios call, a system variable to check?
Preferably without using the default bios keyboard (interupt) handling of course

go to map.tni.nl

you can see all the matrices

use them accourding the keyboard version ID found in BIOS

You can check the keyboard type in the BIOS, it's in byte $2C iirc. I think there's an article on MAP dealing with the differences between the keyboard matrices. You could use that to make a little 'translation table' which you can select/alter after reading $2C.

Hi fly! ^_^

Hi, Sonic_aka_T how goes the things there?
