When you send a command to the keyboard (or the mouse), you have to wait for the acknowledge (0xFA) sent back by the keyboard, then you send the data and another acknowledge is returned. This is the keyboard protocol.

Most software sends the data without waiting for the command acknowledge. We saw that the data is accepted by the controller, but it is really sent after the keyboard sends the acknowledge (the command’s one). This is not implemented in the STPC controller. We have to wait for the command acknowledge before sending the data. An interrupt is generated for each acknowledge.
