	MSHERC performs an installation check by setting DL=FFh and testing
	  whether it has been changed on return, which causes it to reinstall
	  itself when no HGC is present (or HGC emulation has temporarily been

 12	game port installed

	00 DMA channel 0
	01 DMA channel 0 ???
	10 reserved
	11 DMA channel 3
Notes:	Some implementations of Remote (Initial) Program Loader (RPL/RIPL)
	  don't set bit 0 to indicate a "virtual" floppy drive, although the
	  RPL requires access to its memory image through a faked drive A:.
	  This may have caused problems with releases of DOS 3.3x and earlier,
	  which assumed A: and B: to be invalid drives then and would discard
	  any attempts to access these drives.	Implementations of RPL should
	  set bit 0 to indicate a "virtual" floppy.
	The IBM PC DOS 3.3x-2000 IBMBIO.COM contains two occurences of code
	  sequences like:
	    INT 11h
	    JMP SHORT skip
	    DB 52h,50h,53h; "RPS"
	    skip: OR AX,1
	    TEST AX,1
	  While at the first glance this seems to be a bug since it just
	  wastes memory and the condition is always true, this could well be
	  a signature for an applyable patch to stop it from forcing AX bit 0
	  to be always on. MS-DOS IO.SYS does not contain these signatures,
	  however.
BUGs:	Some old BIOSes didn't properly report the count of floppy drives
	  installed to the system.  In newer systems INT 13h/AH=15h can be
	  used to retrieve the number of floppy drives installed.
	Award BIOS v4.50G and v4.51PG erroneously set bit 0 even if there are
	  no floppy drives installed; use two calls to INT 13/AH=15h to
	  determine whether any floppies are actually installed

1302 - INT 13 - DISK - READ SECTOR(S) INTO MEMORY

INT 13 - DISK - READ SECTOR(S) INTO MEMORY
	AH = 02h
	AL = number of sectors to read (must be nonzero)
	CH = low eight bits of cylinder number
	CL = sector number 1-63 (bits 0-5)
	     high two bits of cylinder (bits 6-7, hard disk only)
	DH = head number
	DL = drive number (bit 7 set for hard disk)

Return: CF set on error
	    if AH = 11h (corrected ECC error), AL = burst length
	CF clear if successful
	AH = status (see #00234)
	AL = number of sectors transferred (only valid if CF set for some

Notes:	errors on a floppy may be due to the motor failing to spin up quickly
	  enough; the read should be retried at least three times, resetting
	  the disk with AH=00h between attempts
	most BIOSes support "multitrack" reads, where the value in AL
	  exceeds the number of sectors remaining on the track, in which
	  case any additional sectors are read beginning at sector 1 on
	  the following head in the same cylinder; the MSDOS CONFIG.SYS command
	  MULTITRACK (or the Novell DOS DEBLOCK=) can be used to force DOS to
	  split disk accesses which would wrap across a track boundary into two
	  separate calls
	the IBM AT BIOS and many other BIOSes use only the low four bits of
	  DH (head number) since the WD-1003 controller which is the standard
	  AT controller (and the controller that IDE emulates) only supports
	  16 heads
	AWARD AT BIOS and AMI 386sx BIOS have been extended to handle more
	  than 1024 cylinders by placing bits 10 and 11 of the cylinder number
	  into bits 6 and 7 of DH
	under Windows95, a volume must be locked (see INT 21/AX=440Dh/CX=084Bh)
	  in order to perform direct accesses such as INT 13h reads and writes
	all versions of MS-DOS (including MS-DOS 7 [Windows 95]) have a bug
	  which prevents booting on hard disks with 256 heads (FFh), so many
	  modern BIOSes provide mappings with at most 255 (FEh) heads
	some cache drivers flush their buffers when detecting that DOS is
	  bypassed by directly issuing INT 13h from applications.  A dummy
	  read can be used as one of several methods to force cache
	  flushing for unknown caches (e.g. before rebooting).
BUGS:	When reading from floppies, some AMI BIOSes (around 1990-1991) trash
	  the byte following the data buffer, if it is not arranged to an even
	  memory boundary.  A workaround is to either make the buffer word
	  aligned (which may also help to speed up things), or to add a dummy
	  byte after the buffer.
	MS-DOS may leave interrupts disabled on return from this function.
	Apparently some BIOSes or intercepting resident software have bugs
	  that may destroy DX on return or not properly set the Carry flag.
	  At least some Microsoft software frames calls to this function with
	  PUSH DX, STC, INT 13h, STI, POP DX.
	on the original IBM AT BIOS (1984/01/10) this function does not disable
	  interrupts for harddisks (DL >= 80h).	 On these machines the MS-DOS/
	  PC DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM installs a special filter to bypass the
	  buggy code in the ROM (see CALL F000h:211Eh)

	DL = drive number
	ES:BX -> boot sector of future 2M diskette
Return: CF set on error
	CF clear if successful
	AH = status (see #00234)
Program: 2M is a TSR developed by Ciriaco Garc¡a de Celis to support
	  non standard diskettes with 820-902/1476-1558K (5.25 DD/HD)
	  and 984-1066/1804-1886K/3608-3772K (3.5 DD/HD/ED)
InstallCheck: must search for a "CiriSOFT:2M:1.3" or "CiriSOFT:2MX:3.0" or
	  similar (recomended ":2M:", ":2MX:", or ":2MB:" substrings) in the
	  CiriSOFT TSR interface
Notes:	it is not necessary to call AH=17h or AH=18h first (will be ignored)
	the diskette format must always begin on cylinder 0 head 0
	the boot sector can be obtained from an already-formatted 2M diskette
	  (by calling AH=02h with head number 00h in 2M v1.x and with head
	  number 80h for 2M v2+)
	since 2M v2.0, the BOOT sector is emulated using the first physical
	  sector of FAT2; the second-sixth physical sectors of FAT2 in HD or ED
	  diskettes store the SuperBOOT code. To skip the FAT2 emulation (using
	  FAT1) of 2M, in order to read the SuperBOOT code, head number must be
	  80h-81h instead 0-1 (bit 7 active) in standard read/write functions.
	  This lets diskcopy programs format 2M target diskettes copying
	  SuperBOOT code. If the target diskette is already 2MF formatted
	  (containing boot code) this trick it is not necessary.
	when using STV technology (offset 65 of boot sector equal to 1) it is
	  necessary to write the full track before formatting (except track 0
	  side 0) to complete the format and skip future CRC errors on read; in
	  track 0 side 1 the head used must be 81h instead 1. Diskcopy programs
	  may do a format-write-verify sequential phases to improve performance

Notes:	may return successful even though specified drive is greater than the

	  ensure validity
	for systems predating the IBM AT, this call is only valid for hard
	  disks, as it is implemented by the hard disk BIOS rather than the
	  ROM BIOS
	the IBM ROM-BIOS returns the total number of hard disks attached
	  to the system regardless of whether DL >= 80h on entry.
	Toshiba laptops with HardRAM return DL=02h when called with DL=80h,
	  but fail on DL=81h.  The BIOS data at 40h:75h correctly reports 01h.
	may indicate only two drives present even if more are attached; to
	  ensure a correct count, one can use AH=15h to scan through possible
	  drives
	Reportedly some Compaq BIOSes with more than one hard disk controller
	  return only the number of drives DL attached to the corresponding
	  controller as specified by the DL value on entry.  However, on
	  Compaq machines with "COMPAQ" signature at F000h:FFEAh,
	  MS-DOS/PC DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM call INT 15/AX=E400h and 
	  INT 15/AX=E480h to enable Compaq "mode 2" before retrieving the count
	  of hard disks installed in the system (DL) from this function.
	the maximum cylinder number reported in CX is usually two less than
	  the total cylinder count reported in the fixed disk parameter table
	  (see INT 41h,INT 46h) because early hard disks used the last cylinder
	  for testing purposes; however, on some Zenith machines, the maximum
	  cylinder number reportedly is three less than the count in the fixed
	  disk parameter table.
	for BIOSes which reserve the last cylinder for testing purposes, the
	  cylinder count is automatically decremented
	on PS/1s with IBM ROM DOS 4, nonexistent drives return CF clear,
	  BX=CX=0000h, and ES:DI = 0000h:0000h
	machines with lost CMOS memory may return invalid data for floppy
	  drives. In this situation CF is cleared, but AX,BX,CX,DX,DH,DI,
	  and ES contain only 0.  At least under some circumstances, MS-DOS/
	  PC DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM just assumes a 360 KB floppy if it sees
	  CH to be zero for a floppy.
	the PC-Tools PCFORMAT program requires that AL=00h before it will
	  proceed with the formatting
	if this function fails, an alternative way to retrieve the number
	  of floppy drives installed in the system is to call INT 11h.
	In fact, the MS-DOS/PC-DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM attempts to get the
	  number of floppy drives installed from INT 13/AH=08h, when INT 11h
	  AX bit 0 indicates there are no floppy drives installed. In addition
	  to testing the CF flag, it only trusts the result when the number of
	  sectors (CL preset to zero) is non-zero after the call.
BUGS:	several different Compaq BIOSes incorrectly report high-numbered
	  drives (such as 90h, B0h, D0h, and F0h) as present, giving them the
	  same geometry as drive 80h; as a workaround, scan through disk
	  numbers, stopping as soon as the number of valid drives encountered
	  equals the value in 0040h:0075h
	a bug in Leading Edge 8088 BIOS 3.10 causes the DI,SI,BP,DS, and ES
	  registers to be destroyed
	some Toshiba BIOSes (at least before 1995, maybe some laptops???
	  with 1.44 MB floppies) have a bug where they do not set the ES:DI
	  vector even for floppy drives. Hence these registers should be
	  preset with zero before the call and checked to be non-zero on
	  return before using them.  Also it seems these BIOSes can return
	  wrong info in BL and CX, as S/DOS 1.0 can be configured to preset
	  these registers as for an 1.44 MB floppy.
	the PS/2 Model 30 fails to reset the bus after INT 13/AH=08h and
	  INT 13/AH=15h. A workaround is to monitor for these functions
	  and perform a transparent INT 13/AH=01h status read afterwards.
	  This will reset the bus. The MS-DOS 6.0 IO.SYS takes care of
	  this by installing a special INT 13h interceptor for this purpose.
	AD-DOS may leave interrupts disabled on return from this function.
	Some Microsoft software explicitly sets STI after return.

	this function does not seem to be supported by some Toshiba BIOSes
	  (at least before 1995, maybe some laptops??? with 1.44 MB floppies),
	  because S/DOS 1.0 contains code to bypass a call to this function,
	  always assuming the drive would not support media sense.

1400--DXFFFF - INT 14 - Connection Manager - MODIFY DEFAULT CONNECTION PARAMETERS

INT 14 - Connection Manager - MODIFY DEFAULT CONNECTION PARAMETERS
	AH = 00h
	DX = FFFFh
	ES:DI -> vector string specifying new parameters
Return: AH = return code (00h,03h) (see #00303)
Program: Connection Manager by Softwarehouse Corp. permits the sharing of
	  serial ports over an IPX or NetBIOS-based network
Note:	if DX is 0-3 on entry, Connection Manager emulates the standard BIOS
	  function, but redirects the port over the network; if DX is any other
	  value, the call is chained
SeeAlso: AH=04h/DX=FFFFh,AH=08h/DX=FFFFh,AH=0Ah/DX=FFFFh

(Table 00303)
Values for Connection Manager return code:
 00h	successful
 01h	no such connection
 02h	invalid connection ID
 03h	invalid subvector found
 04h	communication error (check BH)

Return: AH = error code (0 = no error, -1 = error)
Notes:	The embedded PC can send messages at any time. The managing PC may
	  force the embedded PC to receive messages only after causing a reset
	  on the remote embedded PC.
    !!!from Matthias Paul:
    Description of the high-level control packets:
	After the reset the embedded PC will send a 4-byte packet "LOAD"
	  to the managing PC to indicate it is now able to receive commands.
	The managing PC can send commands using 6-byte sized packets starting
	  with "COMM" followed by a 2-byte command code:
	    "01" demand setup information
	    "02" demand sending of diagnostic information
	If diagnostic information is requested, the embedded PC will send back
	  a header packet starting with 4-byte "DIAG" followed by 2 bytes
	  indicating the count of diagnostic data packets following. Each
	  diagnostic data packet is sized 134 bytes, starting with the 4-byte
	  "DIAG", a 2-byte number packet, followed by 128 bytes of data.
	If setup information is requested, the embedded PC will send back
	  8 bytes length packets starting with "SETP" and 2 byte of setup
	  information of the LOADER and BIOS. The contents varies.
	If the embedded PC requests the managing PC to send a BIOS it will
	  send a 4 byte packet "BIOS".
	The managing PC will then send back a 6-byte sized BIOS header packet
	  starting with "BIOS" and a 2-byte indicator of the BIOS image size
	  in packets.
	The embedded PC will answer by sending a 6 byte packet starting with
	  "BIOS" followed by the running number of the demanded packet.
	The managing PC will then send the requested part of the BIOS image
	  in a 134 byte sized packet, starting with "BIOS", the 2 byte running
	  number of the packet and 128 bytes of the actual BIOS info.
	The embedded PC acknowledges that it received the BIOS with a 6-byte
	  packet "BIOS", followed by 2-bytes of 0.
	If the embedded PCs requests the managing PC to send the operating
	  system, it will follow the same proceduce as for requesting the
	  BIOS. The only difference is that instead of "BIOS", the string
	  "PTOS" will be used in the communication.
	Debug information packets have a length of 32 bytes starting with
	  the 4-byte "DEBU" signature, and followed by the contents of the
	  PCU registers in the following order: SP, SS, ES, DS, BP, DI, SI,
	  DX, CX, BX, AX, IP, CS, Flags. Debug information is send after
	  reaching the corresponding breakpoint.
     Description of the low-level packet protocol:
	Before sending a packet the sending side sends a byte 52h and for a
	  certain time (ca. 1 second for the embedded PC) waits for
	  confirmation (41h) from the receiving side. If no acknowledge is
	  received this	procedure is repeated 4 more times before an error is
	  returned.
	If acknowledge was received the following information is sent:
	 2 BYTEs  synchronization (50h, 50h)
	   BYTE	  data packet size - 1
	 2 BYTEs  CRC of the data
	 var.	  data
	 2 BYTEs  synchronization (F0h, F0h)
	The receiving side must acknowledge this by sending back two bytes
	  59h, 59h. If the sender does not receive the confirmation, it
	  tries 4 more times before returning an error.
