The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Subfunctions 00h-04h are available on the PCjr but are not
     supported by the PC or PC/XT ROM BIOS. Subfunction 05h is
     available on PC/ATs with ROM BIOS dates 11/15/85 and later, and
     on the PS/2.
 
     On the PC/AT and PS/2, the value in BH controls the amount of
     delay before the first repeat key is generated, and is a multiple
     of 250 milliseconds:
 
     Value     Delay (milliseconds)
 
     00h       250
     01h       500
     02h       750
     03h       1000
 
     On the PC/AT and PS/2, the value for the repeat rate in characters
     per second can be chosen from the following table:
 
     Value     Repeat Rate
