INT 10 - Chips & Technologies Wingine DGX - GET EXTENDED 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. SAVE BUFFER SIZE AX = 5FA0h CX = state(s) to be saved (see #00186) Return: AL = 5Fh if function supported AH = status 00h unsuccessful 01h successful BX = number of 64-byte blocks required for state SeeAlso: AH=1Ch,AX=5FA1h,AX=5FA2h,AX=5F90h,AX=4F04h Bitfields for C&T 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. save/restore state type: Bit(s) Description (Table 00186) 0 video hardware 1 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. data 2 DAC(Digital-to-Analog Converter) A hardware device (in its simplest form, nothing more than a set of interconnected resistors) which converts a digital number into an analog signal whose voltage is proportional to the value of the digital number. VGAVideo Graphics Array and later color video boards use DACs to convert color values into the analog signals sent to the display; sound boards normally use DACs as well. and color registers 14 (65530 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. with AL=A1h only) clear emulation state 15 extended registers SeeAlso: #00048,#00085
