For what it's worth, the Crynwr packet drivers for DOS use an inb from
the keyboard controller to establish a reasonably constant delay. I
gather this is because the keyboard controller runs at something like 7
MHz on virtually every motherboard. It runs at a higher clock rate on
PS/2s, but apparently it's reliable on ISA, EISA, and ISA/PCI
motherboards.
Sorry about such sketchy second-hand info, but maybe it's worth
something if you want to find a constant delay.
Stephen
