Well, I would like to know if something like this actually exists.
On the IBM-compatible I use at work, I use Fansi-console (a drop-in
replacement for ANSI.SYS), which provides many additional features
such as scrollback and enhanced typeahead.  I would love to have
a keyboard/screen device driver which uses interrupts to provide
decent typeahead, and uses //e auxiliary RAM for a scrollback
buffer.  Does something like this exist?  I would want to use
it in conjunction with Aztec C.
