MKEYB very small Keyboard driver for DOS |
RAWREAD measure your hard disk speed |
mKEYB is a very small keyboard driver that can be used with any DOS.
The
resident size is below 500-700 bytes, depending on the keyboard.
There are about 24 keyboard layouts compiled into the executable, yet the executable size is only 8K.
mKEYB originated from an idea, how to write a very small keyboard driver by
recycling existing BIOS resources.
So it requires much less RAM then most other
keyboard drivers, although it's written entirely in C.
mKEYB requires a 80286 or
better machine.
mKEYB comes including source; you will need Borland Turbo C++ 1.0 to recompile it.
If you want to add a new language, or change an existing one, please see
readme.txt for instructions.
We will be glad to incorporate your language
definitions into mKEYB, if you send us the changes.
License: mKEYB is free to use, change, distribute, learn from, or use in
whatever way you see useful ...
However if you offer mKEYB to others, it would
be cool if you place a link to this page onto your web page.
Download mKEYB program and source (66K)
Another keyboard driver for DOS (XKEYB) can be found
here,
It's even programmable, and configurable without recompiling it; however it has
a somewhat larger executable size and RAM requirements.
