INT 1A - PCMCIA Socket Services v2.1??? - GET VENDOR INFO
AH = 9Dh
AL = adapter number
BH = EDC generator
ES:EDI -> vendor information structure (see #00691)
Return: CF clear if successful
AH destroyed
DX = vendor release number in BCD(Binary Coded Decimal) A method of data storage where two decimal digits are stored in each byte, one in the upper four bits and the other in the lower four bits. Since only the values 0 through 9 are used in each half of a byte, BCD values can be read as decimal numbers on a hexadecimal display of memory or a file.
ES:EDI unchanged
CF set on error
AH = error code (01h,15h) (see #00656)
Notes: this API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running. Because the inputs and outputs of the calls are well-defined, a program using the API can continue using the identical calls even if the internal organization of the program providing the API changes. is supported by recent versions of the AMIAmerican Megatrends, Inc.(American Megatrends, Inc.) A hardware, software and firmware company founded in 1985. BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly.
