   I'm looking for a patch to increase the size of the keyboard buffer
in MS-DOS. For me, typeahead of about 16 characters just doesn't get it.
I'd rather have a patch to DOS than a TSR program, since a TSR will take
up more memory, and I've experienced slow-downs in some keyboard-intensive
activities (read games).
   I can't remember how typeahead is set up in DOS. If it's allocated some
memory for the keyboard buffer, then there should be a patch. However, if
it stacks interrupts, this might not be possible to expand. So, if I'm
barking up the wrong tree, someone please let me know.
