What it turned out to be is that either the port or the keyboard could not accept data that fast. Putting in a simple delay loop fixed everything. Since the resulting program is very small (19 bytes - program, 2176 bytes -assembly source, 1006 bytes - compressed) and might be useful to others on the net, I am sending it to comp.binaries.ibm.pc. Please remember that this program only works on an AT class computer or above. Thanks again guys!
