== One line scanning routine ==

This is a routine which scans one line of the keyboard directly. It is approximately 8% faster then the firmware routine and doesn't enable interrupts.

'''Input:''' A = ''line (&40 - &49)

'''Output:''' A = ''hardware keyboard value''

'''Destroyed:''' BC

<pre>
ld a, line ;use the value from the table above
ld bc, &F6C0
out (c), c
ld bc, &F40E
out (c), c
ld bc, &F792
out (c), c
ld b, &F6
out (c), a
ld b, &F4
in a, (c)
ld bc, &F782
out (c), c
ld bc, &F600
out (c), c
</pre>

Now check for the value from the table
e.g. with''' 'bit x,A' '''
and a condition
e.g.''' 'jp z,xxxx' '''or''' 'call z,xxxx' '''

Please note:
* Bit = 0: Key is pressed
* Bit = 1: Key is not pressed

== Complete keyboard scanning routine ==

This routine scans the complete keyboard and writes all key status bits in a map.

<pre>
keymap ds 10 ;map with 10*8 = 80 key status bits (bit=0 key is pressed)

keyscan di ;1 ##%%## C P C VERSION ##%%##
ld hl,keymap ;3
