Subject: Neophyte CP/M 2.2 Question

     As a personal software project, I'm attempting to generate a BIOS
for a CP/M 2.2 system (mine!).  Since I've already things up and running
with the manufacturer's BIOS, there are no real problems.. I just want
the experience of putting one together.

     Anywho, I've been going through the listing of the current BIOS
and find something peculiar - every time the console input routine is
called, the current BIOS goes and flushes the disk buffers.

     I can't find anything on this in the CP/M manual.. could someone
out there give me a hint as to why this is being done?  Or do I just
have an oddball BIOS?

     The hardware is an U.S. Micro S-100 12-slotter with their board
set.

Thanks in advance -
                       Mark Becker
