keyboard broken in DOS (real mode)

[Michael Stefaniuc]

Hello,

the installer of the free IDA pro version
(http://www.simtel.com/pub/pd/27629.html) dosn't work with wine due
missing keyboard input. Pressing some keys makes wine to spit out
following error:
err:int:DOSVM_Int09SendScan keyboard queue overflow
The emulated hardware keyboard buffer overflows because the keys don't
make it to the emulated BIOS keyboard buffer. DOSVM_Int09SendScan
queues an event for IRQ1 but no handler for int 09 is ever called (the
int 09 handler copies the keys from the hardware to the BIOS keyboard
buffer). (Thx to Ove for the explanation how things should work)

Btw the keyboard input seems to work in protected mode (tested with the
setup program of Imperium Romanum using the DOS32A extender).
