Thanks for any help. BTW, C or MASM source >(or just helpful hints) will do. On IBM machines, the LED's toggle when the status bit in the BIOS data area changes. I'm not sure of the exact address, but it's somewhere in segment 40h. As for non-IBM machines and add-on keyboards, I don't think there are any standards.
