- Subject: [ECOS] PS/2 Keyboard as I/O device
Hello,
Here are my thoughts on implementing a PS/2 device driver (keyboard and
mice). I have some PS/2 support at the HAL layer that provides a simple
read/write byte protocol (think a serial port only dumber :-) and I'm
building a keyboard meta device and mouse meta device over that layer. The
thought being that if ps2 peripherals existed on platforms other than PCs
one could still use the keyboard and mouse layers. Thoughts? Should I not
bother and just leave this stuff in my application?
