We don't have any good support for USB keyboards.
We have not been forced to come to terms with that.
It would require significant changes to make the whole
thing work out smoothly.

Thanks Russ for answering, but I thought that all kbd layer is supposed
to do is essentially calling 'kbdputc()', isn't it ? Or there will be
dragons in USB processing ?
Thanks,
Roman.

I have a little bit of unusual configuration of my desktop -- it has everything
external plugged via USB including keyboard. BIOS can "emulate" standard
keyboard allright ( via INT09 I believe ) but when it comes to accessing it
via i/o ports ( as in pc/kbd.c ) there's nothing in there. So, do I have any
chance of getting away with my setup ?
Thanks in advance,
Roman.

Am I the only one trying to use USB keyboard with P9 ? Well, anyway,
I'm still stuck with it (can't even boot Plan9). I'm can probably live
with the inability to use keyboard before complete system boot, and
thus write a moral equivalent of usb/mouse but since #c doesn't have
anything like #m/mousein I feel that this direction is not worth
persuading. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Roman.
