What about the rest? Do we assume they work?
Unfortunately my XT stopped working, so I couldn't test.
I compiled KEYB with 8088 specific instructions, and it installs own
handlers so that it works in XT, so I'm curious if it does work well.
For a PC/XT you'll probably have a CGA, for which DISPLAY provides
"GRAFTABL emulation", did it work for you too?
