What's the best (and reasonably easy) way to write a PS/2 keyboard driver? I already have a console driver and a minimal kstdlib.

Is there a good way to store keymaps?

Unrelated: How do I set fonts on a VGA card without being in real mode?

(This is for WatOS)

PS2_Keyboard is a great article on things.
Here's a short piece of code just to get you started.

Code:
mov al, 0 ; make sure al has nothing in it
in al, 0x60 ; get scancode

cmp al, 0x1E ; scancode for the letter A (scan code set 1)
je firstletter
