INT 09 C - IRQ1 - KEYBOARD DATA READY
Desc: this interrupt is generated when data is received from the keyboard.
This is normally a scan code (from either a keypress *or* a key
release), but may also be an ACK or NAK of a command on AT-class
keyboards.
Notes: this IRQ may be masked by setting bit 1 on I/O port 21h
if the BIOS supports an enhanced (101/102-key) keyboard, it calls
INT 15/AH=4Fh after reading the scan code (see #00006) from the
keyboard and before further processing; all further processing uses
the scan code returned from INT 15/AH=4Fh
the default interrupt handler is at F000h:E987h in 100%-compatible
BIOSes
the interrupt handler performs the following actions for certain
special keystrokes:
Ctrl-Break clear keyboard buffer, place word 0000h in buffer,
invoke INT 1B, and set flag at 0040h:0071h
SysReq invoke INT 15/AH=85h (SysReq is often labeled SysRq)
Ctrl-Numlock place system in a tight wait loop until next INT 09
Ctrl-Alt-Del jump to BIOS startup code (either F000h:FFF0h or the
destination of the jump at that address)
Shift-PrtSc invoke INT 05
Ctrl-Alt-Plus (HP Vectra) enable keyclick
Ctrl-Alt-Plus (many clones) set clock speed to high
Ctrl-Alt-Minus (HP Vectra) reduce keyclick volume
Ctrl-Alt-Minus (many clones) set clock speed to low
Ctrl-Alt-SysReq (HP Vectra) generate hard reset
Ctrl-Alt-S (many clones) run BIOS setup program
Ctrl-Alt-Esc (many clones) run BIOS setup program
Ctrl-Alt-Ins (many clones) run BIOS setup program
Ctrl-Alt-LeftShift-GrayMinus (some clones) turn off system cache
Ctrl-Alt-LeftShift-GrayPlus (some clones) turn on system cache
DR DOS hooks this interrupt to control the cursor shape (underscore/
half block) for overwrite/insert mode
DR Multiuser DOS hooks this interrupt for cursor shape control and to
control whether Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots the current session or the
entire system

Notes: scan codes 56h-E1h are only available on the extended (101/102-key)
keyboard and Host Connected (122-key) keyboard; scan codes 5Bh-5Dh
are only available on the 122-key keyboard and the Microsoft Natural
Keyboard; scan codes 5Eh-76h are only available on the 122-key
keyboard
in the default configuration, break codes are the make scan codes with
the high bit set; make codes 60h,61h,70h, etc. are not available
because the corresponding break codes conflict with prefix codes
(code 2Ah is available because the self-test result code AAh is only
sent on keyboard initialization). An alternate keyboard
configuration can be enabled on AT and later systems with enhanced
keyboards, in which break codes are the same as make codes, but
prefixed with an F0h scan code
prefix code E0h indicates that the following make/break code is for a
"gray" duplicate to a key which existed on the original PC keyboard;
prefix code E1h indicates that the following make code has no
corresponding break code (currently only the Pause key generates no
break code)
the Microsoft Natural Keyboard sends make codes 5Bh, 5Ch, and 5Dh
(all with an E0h prefix) for the Left Windows, Right Windows, and
Menu keys on the bottom row
the European "Cherry G81-3000 SAx/04" keyboard contains contacts for
four additional keys, which can be made available by a user
modification; the three new keys located directly below the cursor
pad's Delete, End, and PgDn keys send make codes 66h-68h (F19-F21);
the fourth new key, named <delta>, sends make code 73h
the SysReq key is often labeled SysRq
the "Accord" ergonomic keyboard with optional touchpad (no other
identification visible on keyboard or in owner's booklet) has an
additional key above the Grey- key marked with a left-pointing
triangle and labeled "Fn" in the owner's booklet which returns
scan codes E0h 68h on make and E0h E8h on break
the "Preh Commander AT" keyboard with additional F11-F22 keys treats
F11-F20 as Shift-F1..Shift-F10 and F21/F22 as Ctrl-F1/Ctrl-F2; the
Eagle PC-2 keyboard with F11-F24 keys treated those additional keys
in the same way
[Note1] the "Cherry G80-0777" keyboard has additional F11-F15 keys
which generate make codes 55h-59h; some other extended keyboards
generate codes 55h and 56h for F11 and F12, which cannot be managed
by standard DOS keyboard drivers
[Note2] the Schneider/Amstrad PC1512 PC keyboards contain extra keys,
a mouse, and a digital joystick, which are handled like extra keys.
The joystick's motion scancodes are converted into standard arrow
keys by the BIOS, and the joystick and mouse button scan codes are
converted to FFFFh codes in the BIOS keyboard buffer
(see CMOS 15h"AMSTRAD").
In addition to the keys listed in the table above, there are
Del-> (delete forward) 70h
Enter 74h
