I can't find the code I once had to run those things... I once had
a small piece of code that compiled into an rfc file that the apollo
bootroms could load and blit characters onto the framebuffer from 
input taken from the keyboard through the 2681...

All i can remember at the moment was that they were 1200,e,7,1
and in a sort of cooked mode by default with the mouse just spewing
quadrature data through the same stream... There was a way to
put the keyboard into a raw mode whereby you could detect keyup and
keydown commands as well as dealing with the ALT key...  If all
you care about at the moment is getting something legible out of
it, then 1200,e,7,1 is your ticket.

You'll want to talk to jason about how he wants to architect the
official support for it.

ok, so when can I use my soundblaster in my 433s?
