[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Changing keyboard repeat rate

tommie@stardust.Pacesetter.COM (Tom Levin) (01/31/91)

Under DOS 4.0 and higher, one can use the "mode" command to change
the keyboard repeat rate along with the delay from when the key
is first hit and when the repeating starts.

On my 386 clone, I can change the repeat rate, but the initial delay
remains the same (1 second) no matter which value I choose for it (the
choices are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or 1 second).

Note that the same command works fine on my friend's computer.

Is this a problem with my BIOS, my keyboard, or what??? The long
delay is very annoying.

Thanks for any insight.
