- 20.5 - The Keyboard Interrupt Service Routine
20.5 The Keyboard Interrupt Service Routine
The int 16h ISR is the interface between application programs and the
keyboard. In a similar vein, the int 9 ISR is the interface between the
keyboard hardware and the int 16h ISR. It is the job of the int 9 ISR to
process keyboard hardware interrupts, convert incoming scan codes to scan/ASCII
code combinations and place them in the typeahead buffer, and process other
messages the keyboard generates.
To convert keyboard scan codes to scan/ASCII codes, the int 9 ISR must keep
track of the current state of the modifier keys. When a scan code comes
along, the int 9 ISR can use the xlat
instruction to translate
the scan code to an ASCII code using a table int 9 selects on the basis
of the modifier flags. Another important issue is that the int 9 handler
must handle special key sequences like ctrl-alt-del (reset) and PrtSc. The
following assembly code provides a simple int 9 handler for the keyboard.
It does not support alt-Keypad ASCII code entry or a few other minor features,
but it does support almost everything you need for a keyboard interrupt
service routine. Certainly it demonstrates all the techniques you need to
know when programming the keyboard.

; Note that this code does not patch into int 2Fh (multiplex interrupt)
; nor can you remove this code from memory except by rebooting.
; If you want to be able to do these two things (as well as check for
; a previous installation), see the chapter on resident programs. Such
; code was omitted from this program because of length constraints.
