        Ps/2 keyboards used interrupt when transferring data, meaning instead of waiting for the cpu to get the data it is trying to send when it is free, it will just interrupt what the cpu is currently doing and tell it to process what the keyboard is sending.

    What bothers me the most here is that those are 64 bit instructions, which did not exist when PS/2 was a Thing. But I still chuckled, nice work.

    Back then our registers were 32 bits wide, and we liked it 🤣
