OSBYTE &7A (122) - Keyboard Scan from &10

   Simply performs OSByte &79 with X=16

Usage note

On exit Y is undefined, and typically contains an invalid keynumber.[1] Paged ROMs that handle service call &03 commonly, though incorrectly, pass Y unchanged to OSBYTE &78 where it sets an arbitrary keynumber as the second active rollover key. This does not cause a spurious keypress in practice.
