INT 15H used to be the cassete tape interface.  Since nobody really cared
about this, many people have re-used this INT in the past (T*pView, various
network handlers, ...).  It appears that BigBlue has again changed the
meaning.  I use INT 9H and 16H in some keyboard handlers, but I think I'll
stay away from INT 15H...
