Oh, yes, I should knew that the device driver is a need. Of course, sorry. 
;)

BTW: What about to redesign the FreeMiNT basic input device handling for 
this to become just a general mouse driver normally used. I doen't make 
much sense to me that you need an extra driver to be able to run AES.

I'd like to see a decent IKBD (or vex_*) scanning layer that would somehow 
create events on the /dev/keyboard (nkcc equipped), /dev/mouse, 
/dev/joystick that would be used by the kernel itself as well AES or any 
other application that would need to.

I've written this here some time ago, but noone gave me a decent answer 
(or I forgot that already because nothing was done in this field).
Any comments?

best regards
