I'm trying to work through some exercises in an old assembler book I
have by Kip Irvine, and I'm trying to figure out the keyboard
interrupts.  Unfortunately, these do not appear to work under windows.

What are my options for low level calls in windows to do the keyboard
exercises without calling C functions?

Why not use 32 bit protected mode assembler with actual BIOS calls.
aeBIOS is a 32 bit protected mode BIOS interface which allows
programming with full BIOS support. Assemble a simple 32 bit
protected mode flat binary file with an origin at 1 meg. Copy the
file to an aeBIOS floppy disk. Boot from a real floppy or use
VFD and Bochs or Qemu.

Is there any problem to get a key from port 60h/64h(keyboard controller)?
