Keyboard Layouts; Extended Functions - IBM XT 5160 Technical Reference

Extended Functions
The keyboard routine does its own buffering. The keyboard
buffer is large enough that few typists will ever fill it. However, if
a key is pressed when the buffer is full, the key will be ignored
and the "bell" will sound.
Also, the keyboard routine suppresses the typematic action of the
following keys: Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, Caps
Lock, and Ins.
