Apologies if this has turned up once already, but I posted a week ago and have received no replies whatsoever, thus I assume the original posting did not arrive. I wish to call int 0x10 from within MINIX. How can this be achieved? I know that MINIX masks out such interrupts and then substitutes them with it's own handlers, but I need to make explicit use of the BIOS in this particular case. I have noticed in my klib88.s in 1.3 that there is a call to int 0x15 which is achieved by making what is described as a 'far' call to the BIOS.. can anyone explain how one might do this? .. the code itself is pretty incomprehensible. Thanks in advance of any help!! Regards, Simon Roberts sjr87@ecs.soton.ac.uk [ + nsfnet-relay.ac.uk if needs be..]

Just modify the main.c of kernel, don't let it change the original vector(s) which you want to use. Benchiao Jai jai@cs.nyu.edu
