Hello,

I am having trouble taking direct keyboard input from Zeinith PCs.  In
my game (F.Godmom) I take input from port[$60], and on most machines it
seems to work fine.  However, when I tested the game on a couple of
Zeiniths here at school, the program detected no input at port[$60].
This leads me to a couple of questions; please answer any that you can:
    1) Where does the keyboard input come in on a Zeinith?
    2) Are there other compatibles that do not take input from
       port[$60]?
    3) Is there a way for the software to detect how to get around
       the BIOS on all computers?

		Thanks in advance for your help.
