Int 16/AX=5000h

KEYBOARD - AX PC - SET KEYBOARD COUNTRY CODE

AX = 5000h
BX = country code
0001h USA (English), 0051h Japan

Return:
AL = status
00h successful
01h bad country code
02h other error

Notes: This function is called with BX=0051h by Japanese versions of MS-DOS/PC DOS/DR DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM at initialization time.. The K3PLUS v6.00+ INT 16 BIOS replacement will switch between the supported country specific layout (e.g. BX=0031h Germany, BX=001Fh Netherlands, BX=0020h Belgium, BX=0022h Spain) (as with + +) and K3PLUS' transparent mode (as with ++).. In transparent mode (BX=0001h), K3PLUS chains to the underlying driver (normally the BIOS driver with US-layout). K3PLUS beeps on mode changes
