KEYB.COM KEYBOARD CAPABILITIES CHECK (not an actual function!)

AH = A2h

Return:
AH <= 80h if 122-key keyboard functions (AH=20h-22h) supported

Desc: This function is called by the DOS 3.2 KEYBxx.COM and DOS 5+ KEYB.COM to determine the highest supported keyboard function

Note: Many BIOSes (including at least some versions of Phoenix and AMI) will destroy AH on return from functions higher than AH=12h, returning 12h less than was in AH on entry (due to a chain of DEC/JZ instructions)
