RE: [Bochs-developers] keyboard speed problems (repeating keys) innetbsd

[Gregg C L. <dr...@wo...>]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Huh? Greg does this action, apply to other Intel capable OSes, such as
FreeDOS, and Red Hat's Red Boot? I had that problem with launching both
of them, on my binary, here. Based on your advice, I will try it, for
that, if, and when I decide to try one, or the other one. When you get
back to me, that is.
