Please explain? I get that the chubby bird is speaking assembly, but I'm sure there's more to it than that?

PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.

I'm wondering, is it still the case for mobos with Super IO?

[–] dan@upvote.au 4 points 1 day ago

Super IO does still use interrupts as far as I know. The PS/2 protocol is interrupt-driven, so it's not possible to use a PS/2 keyboard or mouse without interrupts.

Cool! I had no idea it was deeper than just a physical interface change.

I remember manually programming the cylinders and heads on a hdd into the bios. Kids these days got it easy

I had a little book with the settings for almost every brand and model of hard drive that existed when published.

And when the bits feel off the end and you had to wind them back on with a pencil.
