I got that reference. Fuck, I'm old.

Please explain? I get that the chubby bird is speaking assembly, but I'm sure there's more to it than that?

PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.

I'm wondering, is it still the case for mobos with Super IO?

[-] dan@upvote.au 4 points 2 days ago

Super IO does still use interrupts as far as I know. The PS/2 protocol is interrupt-driven, so it's not possible to use a PS/2 keyboard or mouse without interrupts.
