Not true: take a look in src/libc/pc_hw/co80/conio.c. The getch() function
is just a wrapper for DOS call 0x21, ax=0x7000 (raw keyboard input without
echo).

I thought it wasn't finished yet? The last I heard was that you were still
having some problems getting it to work. But if it is finished and ready for
inclusion, by all means send me the patches (but beware: the DX bank
switching asm changed slightly in 3.9.30, so you'll probably need to update
that if you've done a gcc version of those routines).
