When does ScreenBlaster run (before or after the AES)? The new MultiTOS
AES redirects BIOS I/O to go through the same mechanism as AES keyboard
events, so that programs that mix BIOS and AES keyboard handling will
work correctly. Unfortunately, this means that programs that mix BIOS
and hardware keyboard handling break. Perhaps this is what's happening?
