KEYB would need no changes, 2-char wide characters would be a String.
True that not too comfortable to write the corresponding KL layouts,
but still feasible.

As for DISPLAY: MS-DISPLAY is a true enhancement of CON, but
FD-DISPLAY is not (yet).
Appart from turning DISPLAY into a DOS device driver and override
kernel's CON, but not only IOCTL, but also write. However, it would
still let out:
- int 10h users
- direct video BIOS writers
but would be a begining. Am I letting anything out?
