Lament for the PC

Chris, list,

Another lament for the PC. I tried to do a simple write to the keyboard
controller in a stepper program I'm writing, and BOY did the PC hate it
(crash)! In a windoz98 DOS window, I might understand, but booting up
just into DOS? Dropped that Idea. I thought the "keyboard lights"
would make good debug tools. Oh well, steal a bit on the parallel port,
hook up a 'scope.
