I thought it's pretty much universally "delete" now on any mobos

Unless it's a Toshiba or IBM laptop - the keyboard generates some SMI interrupt, which can take precedence even in protected-mode, and because it's a laptop with relatively fixed hardware, the SMI handler can save/restore the state of the keyboard and video controller quite well. Try it, you might be surprised.
