title: Is it possible to access the keyboard controller's internal make/break code buffer?
body: <p>According to this webpage: <a href="http://stanislavs.org/helppc/8042.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://stanislavs.org/helppc/8042.html</a> the keyboard controller maintains it's own internal 16 byte make/break code buffer. </p>
  
  <p>"The keyboard's internal controller buffers up to 16 bytes of make/break code information. This is common among all PC systems and shouldn't be confused with the (32 byte) keyboard buffer maintained by the BIOS."</p>
  
  <p>Being able to access this buffer would be very useful to me in my 8086 assembly language programs (presumably updated faster than the 32 byte buffer maintained by the BIOS). </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to pull those make/break codes from the internal buffer, aside from polling port 60h? </p>
