OS_Pur, Purge keyboard buffer

OS_Pur, Purge keyboard buffer

Jun 10, 2014

Register parameters

RST 20H, DEFB $33
IN:
     -

OUT, if call successful:
     Fc = 0, keyboard purged

Registers changed after return:
     A.BCDEHL/IXIY same
     .F....../.... different 

Notes

The system timeout is also reset, ie. running a loop with OS_Pur and OS_Tin in a loop never switches the machine off, even though the user never touches the keyboard.
