[MiNT] kerinfo->xbios_tab ?

[barrilli@club-internet.fr (Vincent Barrilliot)]

Hello,

I'd like to know why there's no entry points for Xbios() functions in
the kerinfo structure. Historical reasons ? Technical reasons ?

In 2 days I got frustrated by this twice !
- We talk about a XDD kernel for oAESis. But how to know the state
of special keys from a XDD ? We can't call Kbshift(-1) :-(

- I (finally, yes I'm doing it :-) ) write a midi device driver for
 MiNT, in a XDD. But if I want to do things properly, I may only hook
 keyboard vectors. But in a XDD I can't get their adress because I can't
 call Kbdvbase() :-(
 

Am I the only one annoyed by this "limitation" or would it be opportune
to add a xbios function entry table in kerinfo ?
