This is the keyboard base device driver for OS/2 and eComStation.
KBDBASE.SYS is one of the two separated driver for the keyboard physical device driver. KDBBASE.SYS is referred as the "device-independent driver" that handles the monitors, screen groups, code paging, translation and special needs processing. This device driver communicas any hardware change with the "device-dependet" driver (IBMKBD.SYS) using an IDS (inter-device-driver communication) interface.
- Note
- This is one of the critical drivers for the OS/2 Kernel.
