INT 20 P - Microsoft Windows - 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. - VxDA virtual device driver for Windows 3.x or 95.	So called because nearly all of the Windows 3.0 drivers had names of the form "VdeviceD". See also device driver. SERVICES
