INT 14 - Digiboard DigiCHANNEL PCIBM PC/X* - SEND 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. COMMAND AH = 18h ES:BX -> 16-byte command string DX = port number (00h-03h) (04h-43h for XAPCM232.SYS) Return: AH = status 00h successful 80h timeout AL = mailbox status 00h no errors 8Xh 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. error ES:BX buffer filled in with mailbox string ZF clear if no errors ZF set if either status byte contains an error code SeeAlso: AH=16h"Digiboard"
INT 14 - PC-MOS/386 v5.01 $serial.sys v5.04 - GET DRIVER DESCRIPTION AH = 18h DX = port number Return: DS:BX -> 40-byte buffer containing a string identifying the serial driver SeeAlso: AH=06h"PC-MOS"
