The keyboard controller receives  serial data from the keyboard, checks its parity, translates scan codes, and presents it to the system as a byte data  in its output buffer.  The controller can interrupt the system when data is placed in its output buffer, or wait for the  system to poll its status register to determine when data is available.    Data can be written to the
