Well surely a few hacks to the KB driver should do it. The source
is in the DDK.

Now my contract has finished, I will tale a look.

AFAIK, from inside the DD you can't do much in the way of screen writes
etc without a mountain of hard work. Am I wrong? Is there are DevHelp
to query user? will it work on the kind of sick system that requires
C-A-D? It would be sad if I made a reboot impossible.
