Special Handling
1.
System Reset
The combination of ALT-CTRL-DEL will result in the keyboard routine initiating the equivalent of a system
reset/reboot.
2. System Set Up
The combination of ALT-CTRL-INS will result in the keyboard routine displaying the system default values.
In relation to CRT or LCD selection, the combinations of ALT-CTRL-F1 1 (CRT) and ALT-CTRL-F12 (LCD)
will be valid.
NOTE: To press F11 and F12 keys are not equal to press SHIFT F1 and F2.
3. Break
The combination of CTRL SCROLL-LOCK will result in the keyboard routine signaling interrupt- 1A. Also, the
extended characters (AL
=
OOH, AH
=
OOH) will be returned.
NOTE: It is up to the system or application initialization code to change the interrupt vector in order to support
an actual "break" function.
4.
Pause
The combination of CTRL NUM-LOCK will cause the keyboard interrupt routine to loop, waiting for any key
except NUM-LOCK to be pressed.
