I have two routines: io_send_byte_ctr
Wich should send a byte to the controller, hand has no timeout

io_send_byte_dev, Wich sends to devices.

Everything is ok, but it seems both send bytes to devices (when I check reply I always get ACK)

I'm using bochs and virtualbox, why does this happen?

It probably happens because there's a bug in your code.

Maybe I could find the bug if I could see your code.

Hi,

Read the PS/2 wiki article, particularly the "host to device" part. It describes this in great detail.

Basically you always send data to the controller, never to the devices. You can ask the controller to forward those data to one of the devices, but still, you're talking to the controller. What you have written seems like you are accidentally keep asking the controller to send the data to one of the devices.

Cheers,
