Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] TypeMatic Rate

Hi Jerry,

I didn't see any "get" typematic rate command in Phoenix's BIOS book.
It might be at a defined location in the BIOS RAM (40:), but I didn't
see it called out.

Why not chain the kbd interrupt, and "grab" the cursor keys used for JOG
before they are put into the kbd buffer? Watch for key down an key up
codes from the kbd controller. Then, typematic repeats don't seem to
matter... (what happens to them?)
