I must have missed the explanation, please repeat it. If anyone is going to get the MSDOS port working again, then the effort in getting it working with MULTI_KBOARD is going to be similar to or less than the work required to get the rest of post-multi-tty Emacs working without MULTI_KBOARD. The reason W32 and Mac now use MULTI_KBOARD is that the multi-tty changes basically forced it. The changes were minor compared with what else needs doing to revive the MSDOS port after the unicode and multi-tty merges.
