a quick google search turned up this snippet

mov ah, 9
int $16 {get keyboard functionalities}
and al, 1000b {get typematic delay/rate available?}
jz @no_get_rate
mov ax, $306 {if so, get it!}
int $16
mov keyb, bx {and store it}
@no_get_rate:
mov ax, $305 {set the new rate/delay for the game}
xor bx, bx
int $16

I havn't used it or tested it.... it came from a game source code site
