Hi Josh,

This sounds like the sort of thing that might be possible with a DOS
interrupt call.  Have you checked out a nearby copy of Ralph Brown's
Interrupt List?  I find the HTML'ised version at:

    http://www.ctyme.com/rbrown.htm

very useful.  It's where I learnt how to make low level sector reads and
writes to floppy and IDE drives.

As for keyboards this might be a start:

Hope this helps.

FP.
