I've been banging up against the typeahead limit on my DOS machine even more than usual lately. I've seen various keyboard-buffer-expanders around, but the only ones I've tried didn't work on my clone. Can you point me to one that actually is generic enough to work reliably on most clones?

PC Magazine had a visible type-ahead keyboard buffer, some years back. It was called something on the order of VISIKEY, or VISI-something. It worded on my xt-clone, but I didn't like the screen display of keystrokes waiting to be fed into the 80 character buffer. I am pretty sure the buffer could be expanded, but not sure if the screen display could be turned off. Back then, I was new to pc's and I tried every program around, just to try it, not because I needed it or could use it. Turns out, I don't NEED a key- board buffer...

I once wrote a program to solve this problem - I had seen two programs that did not work - one assumed a standard US keyboard, but the other one displayed the characters on the screen. If there is any interest I'll try to find the program - a (very) small TSR utility. -- Fridrik Skulason - University of Iceland, Computing Services. frisk@rhi.hi.is Technical Editor, Virus Bulletin.
