[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Int 16h Fcn 10h on XT BIOS - help!

cliffhanger@cup.portal.com (Cliff C Heyer) (07/19/90)

Does anyone know a way to check a BIOS int 16h
to see if it can handle the extended keyboard?

Some XT BIOSes crash if you try a Fcn 10h on
them .

I thought the BIOS was written so that if
an interrupt contains an invalid function code
the BIOS does nothing and returns. But in this
case it seems to crash.....I thought I could
try a 10h and if it returned nothing I could
try a 00h standard XT read.

Please mail & I'll post,
