Emutos implements the kbdvecs structure as documented in the compendium.
(see bios/aciavecs.[Sh]). It even uses it internally.

However the implementation of the interrupt vectors themselves, although 
compliant to the documentation, is not strictly identical to the TOS 
implementation (for instance, the TOS copies IKBD packets of different 
types in different buffers whereas the current EmuTOS implementation *
uses a common buffer, IIRC). 

Now, I would be glad to know what use the MiNT guys make of this
kbdvecs structure...
