   1) Is it possible for a TSR program to allocate a portion of
      extended/expanded memory to itself ?

      The reason I'm asking is that I have written a TSR program,
      that consists of ~100K data, but only ~30K code. I would like
      to keep most of the data in extended/expanded memory, but the
      problem is that the program must work with other programs that
      make use of this memory.

   2) Is there any utility floating around for increasing the size of
      the keyboard buffer ?

      I could easily write one myself, but since having only a 16 character
      is very irritating, somebody must have done it already....

   3) Are there any known/documented differences between the BIOS on the

             a)  PS/2 models 50Z and 70 
     and
             b)  the other PS/2 machines

     The reason is that one of my programs (a TSR program that takes
     over INT 9,16,21,28) does not work at all on the 50Z and 70, and
     I have been unable to find out why. It seems to have something to
     do with the BIOS.
