[comp.os.minix] A question of BIOS

sjr87@ecs.southampton.ac.uk (Simon Roberts) (01/29/91)

I'm using MINIX 1.3 on my trusty 286, and I was wondering if there was
any way in which I can utilise the BIOS (specifically interrupt 10h)
within the OS. I understand that MINIX masks out such interrupts and
then introduces it's own handling routines, but I also notice one
routine in klib88.s which does use a call to interrupt 15h calling it
a 'far' call to the BIOS.

Can anyone help?? Thanks in advance..

Simon
