  Oh.  Sorry, I forgot not everybody is going to have a bunch of
floppies full of old software.  :-)

  The idea here is to see what the hardware is doing (as close as one
can without a logic probe).  We don't want the kernel or keyboard
driver doing any interpretation.  The reason MS-DOS is suggested is
that MS-DOS does almost nothing, so diagnostics have better access to
the "bare metal".  Most of the stuff I have is restricted license.
Um... anyone have any ideas?
