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?
