pair contains a pointer to the specified item, rather than the item itself.
One or more letters may follow the interrupt number; they have the following
meanings: U - undocumented function, u - partially documented function,
P - available only in protected mode, R - available only in real or V86 mode,
C - callout or callback (usually hooked rather than called),
O - obsolete (no longer present in current versions)

--------C-00---------------------------------
INT 00 - CPU-generated - DIVIDE ERROR
Desc: generated if the divisor of a DIV or IDIV instruction is zero or the
quotient overflows the result register; DX and AX will be unchanged.
Notes: on an 8086/8088, the return address points to the following instruction
on an 80286+, the return address points to the divide instruction
an 8086/8088 will generate this interrupt if the result of a division
is 80h (byte) or 8000h (word)
SeeAlso: INT 04
--------G-00---------------------------------
INT 00 - Zenith - ROM DEBUGGER
Desc: invokes the ROM Debugger when at the BIOS level; equivalent to
pressing Ctrl-Alt-Ins on booting.
Note: since DOS revectors INT 00, it is necessary to restore this vector to
its original ROM BIOS value in order to invoke the debugger once DOS
loads
SeeAlso: INT 03"Columbia"
--------C-01---------------------------------
INT 01 - CPU-generated - SINGLE STEP
Desc: generated after each instruction if TF (trap flag) is set; TF is
cleared on invoking the single-step interrupt handler
Notes: interrupts are prioritized such that external interrupts are invoked
after the INT 01 pushes CS:IP/FLAGS and clears TF, but before the
first instruction of the handler executes
used by debuggers for single-instruction execution tracing, such as
MS-DOS DEBUG's T command
SeeAlso: INT 03
--------C-01---------------------------------
INT 01 - CPU-generated (80386+) - DEBUGGING EXCEPTIONS
Desc: generated by the CPU on various occurrences which may be of interest
to a debugger program
Note: events which may trigger the interrupt:
Instruction address breakpoint fault - will return to execute inst
Data address breakpoint trap - will return to following instruction
General detect fault, debug registers in use
Task-switch breakpoint trap
undocumented 386/486 opcode F1h - will return to following instruc
SeeAlso: INT 03
--------H-02---------------------------------
INT 02 - external hardware - NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT
Desc: generated by the CPU when the input to the NMI pin is asserted
Notes: return address points to start of interrupted instruction on 80286+
on the 80286+, further NMIs are disabled until the next IRET
instruction, but one additional NMI is remembered by the hardware
and will be serviced after the IRET instruction reenables NMIs
maskable interrupts may interrupt the NMI handler if interrupts are
enabled
although the Intel documentation states that this interrupt is
typically used for power-failure procedures, it has many other uses
on IBM-compatible machines:
Memory parity error: all except Jr, CONV, and some machines
without memory parity
Breakout switch on hardware debuggers
Coprocessor interrupt: all except Jr and CONV
Keyboard interrupt: Jr, CONV
I/O channel check: CONV, PS50+
Disk-controller power-on request: CONV
System suspend: CONV
Real-time clock: CONV
System watch-dog timer, time-out interrupt: PS50+
DMA timer time-out interrupt: PS50+
Low battery: HP 95LX
Module pulled: HP 95LX
--------C-03---------------------------------
INT 03 - CPU-generated - BREAKPOINT
Desc: generated by the one-byte breakpoint instruction (opcode CCh)
Notes: used by debuggers to implement breakpoints, such as MS-DOS DEBUG's G
command
also used by Turbo Pascal versions 1,2,3 when {$U+} specified
return address points to byte following the breakpoint instruction
SeeAlso: INT 01
--------G-03---------------------------------
INT 03 - Columbia PCs (desktop,VP portables) - ROM DEBUGGER
Desc: invokes the ROM Debugger if INT 03 has not been revectored; equivalent
to pressing Esc on booting.
SeeAlso: INT 00"Zenith",INT 03"Realia"
--------G-03---------------------------------
INT 03 - Realia COBOL - DEBUGGER SUPPORT
Note: Realia COBOL checks for a signature eight bytes prior to the interrupt
handler when it starts up
BUG: if the offset of the INT 03 vector is less than 8, the compiler and
all executables generated by it will crash the system
SeeAlso: INT 03"Columbia"

SeeAlso: AX=0912h,AX=0913h
--------C-04---------------------------------
INT 04 - CPU-generated - INTO DETECTED OVERFLOW
Desc: the INTO instruction will generate this interrupt if OF (Overflow Flag)
is set; otherwise, INTO is effectively a NOP
Note: may be used for convenient overflow testing (to prevent errors from
propagating) instead of JO or a JNO/JMP combination
SeeAlso: INT 00
--------B-05---------------------------------
INT 05 - PRINT SCREEN
Desc: dump the current text screen to the first printer
Notes: normally invoked by the INT 09 handler when PrtSc key is pressed, but
may be invoked directly by applications
byte at 0050h:0000h contains status used by default handler
00h not active
01h PrtSc in progress
FFh last PrtSc encountered error
default handler is at F000h:FF54h in IBM PC and 100%-compatible BIOSes
SeeAlso: INT 10/AH=12h/BL=20h
--------C-05---------------------------------
INT 05 - CPU-generated (80186+) - BOUND RANGE EXCEEDED
Desc: generated by BOUND instruction when the value to be tested is less than
the indicated lower bound or greater than the indicated upper bound.
Note: returning from this interrupt re-executes the failing BOUND instruction
--------P-05454A-----------------------------
INT 05 U - PSPS v2.01 - EJECT PAGE
AX = 454Ah ('EJ')
Program: PSPS is shareware PostScript PrintScreen utility by A.N.D.
Technologies
Note: sends a ^D to the current printer
SeeAlso: AX=4E57h,AX=5053h,AX=554Eh
--------P-054E57-----------------------------
INT 05 U - PSPS v2.01 - SET PARAMETERS
AX = 4E57h ('NW')
ES:SI -> 11-byte buffer containing new settings
Return: buffer filled
SeeAlso: AX=454Ah,AX=5053h,INT 17/AH=63h
--------P-055053-----------------------------
INT 05 U - PSPS v2.01 - GET PARAMETERS
AX = 5053h ('PS')
ES:SI -> 11-byte buffer for settings
Return: buffer filled
SeeAlso: AX=4E57h,AX=554Eh,INT 17/AH=64h
--------P-05554E-----------------------------
INT 05 U - PSPS v2.01 - UNINSTALL
AX = 554Eh ('UN')
Program: PSPS is shareware PostScript PrintScreen utility by A.N.D.
Technologies
SeeAlso: AX=454Ah,AX=4E57h,INT 17/AH=62h
--------C-06---------------------------------
INT 06 - CPU-generated (80286+) - INVALID OPCODE
Desc: this interrupt is generated when the CPU attempts to execute an
invalid opcode (most protected-mode instructions are considered
invalid in real mode) or a BOUND, LDS, LES, or LIDT instruction
which specifies a register rather than a memory address
Notes: return address points to beginning of invalid instruction
with proper programming, this interrupt may be used to emulate
instructions which do not exist; many 386 BIOSes emulate the 80286
undocumented LOADALL instruction which was removed from the 80386+
generated by the 80386+ when the LOCK prefix is used with instructions
other than BTS, BTR, BTC, XCHG, XADD (486), CMPXCHG (486), INC, DEC,
NOT, NEG, ADD, ADC, SUB, SBB, AND, OR, or XOR, or any instruction
not accessing memory.
SeeAlso: INT 0C"CPU",INT 0D"CPU"
--------b-06---------------------------------
INT 06 C - HP 95LX - SLEEP/WAKEUP
Desc: this interrupt is called just before going into light or deep
(shutdown) sleep and just after returning from light or deep sleep
SeeAlso: INT 0B"HP 95LX",INT 15/AX=4DD4h,INT 15/AH=4Eh
--------C-07---------------------------------
INT 07 - CPU-generated (80286+) - PROCESSOR EXTENSION NOT AVAILABLE
Desc: this interrupt is automatically called if a coprocessor instruction is
encountered when no coprocessor is installed
Note: can be used to emulate a numeric coprocessor in software
SeeAlso: INT 09"MATH UNIT PROTECTION"
--------H-08---------------------------------
INT 08 - IRQ0 - SYSTEM TIMER
Desc: generated 18.2 times per second by channel 0 of the 8254 system timer,
this interrupt is used to keep the time-of-day clock updated
Notes: programs which need to be invoked regularly should use INT 1C unless
they need to reprogram the timer while still keeping the time-of-day
clock running at the proper rate
default handler is at F000h:FEA5h in IBM PC and 100%-compatible BIOSes
may be masked by setting bit 0 on I/O port 21h
SeeAlso: INT 1C,INT 4A,INT 50"DESQview",INT 58"DoubleDOS",INT 70,INT 78"GO32"
SeeAlso: INT D8"Screen Thief"
--------C-08---------------------------------
INT 08 - CPU-generated (80286+) - DOUBLE EXCEPTION DETECTED
Desc: called when multiple exceptions occur on one instruction, or an
exception occurs in an exception handler
Notes: called in protected mode if an interrupt above the defined limit of
the interrupt vector table occurs
return address points at beginning of instruction with errors or the
beginning of the instruction which was about to execute when the
external interrupt caused the exception
if an exception occurs in the double fault handler, the CPU goes into
SHUTDOWN mode (which circuitry in the PC/AT converts to a reset);
this "triple fault" is a faster way of returning to real mode on
many 80286 machines than the standard keyboard controller reset
--------H-09---------------------------------
INT 09 - IRQ1 - KEYBOARD DATA READY
Desc: this interrupt is generated when data is received from the keyboard.
This is normally a scan code (from either a keypress *or* a key
release), but may also be an ACK or NAK of a command on AT-class
keyboards.
Notes: this IRQ may be masked by setting bit 1 on I/O port 21h
if the BIOS supports an enhanced (101/102-key) keyboard, it calls
INT 15/AH=4Fh after reading the scan code (see #0005) from the
keyboard and before further processing; all further processing uses
the scan code returned from INT 15/AH=4Fh
the default interrupt handler is at F000h:E987h in 100%-compatible
BIOSes
the interrupt handler performs the following actions for certain
special keystrokes:
Ctrl-Break clear keyboard buffer, place word 0000h in buffer,
invoke INT 1B, and set flag at 0040h:0071h
SysReq invoke INT 15/AH=85h (SysReq is often labeled SysRq)
Ctrl-Numlock place system in a tight wait loop until next INT 09
Ctrl-Alt-Del jump to BIOS startup code (either F000h:FFF0h or the
destination of the jump at that address)
Shift-PrtSc invoke INT 05
DRDOS hooks this interrupt to control the cursor shape (underscore/
half block) for overwrite/insert mode
DR Multiuser DOS hooks this interrupt for cursor shape control and to
control whether Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots the current session or the
entire system

the SysReq key is often labeled SysRq
--------C-09---------------------------------
INT 09 - CPU-generated (80286,80386) - PROCESSOR EXTENSION PROTECTION ERROR
Desc: called if the coprocessor attempts to access memory outside a segment
boundary; it may occur at an arbitrary time after the coprocessor
instruction was issued
Notes: until the condition is cleared or the coprocessor is reset, the only
coprocessor instruction which may be used is FNINIT; WAIT or other
coprocessor instructions will cause a deadlock because the
coprocessor is still busy waiting for data
for the 486+, a coprocessor protection error generates an INT 0D
SeeAlso: INT 07"CPU"

INT 09 P - internal hardware - RESERVED BY Intel (80486)
Note: this exception has been moved to INT 0D
SeeAlso: INT 09"MATH",INT 0D

INT 0A - IRQ2 - LPT2 (PC), VERTICAL RETRACE INTERRUPT (EGA,VGA)
Notes: the TOPS and PCnet adapters use this interrupt request line by default
DOS 3.2 revectors IRQ2 to a stack-switching routine
on ATs and above, the physical data line for IRQ2 is labeled IRQ9 and
connects to the slave 8259. The BIOS redirects the interrupt for
IRQ9 back here.
under DESQview, only the INT 15h vector and BASIC segment address (the
word at 0000h:0510h) may be assumed to be valid for the handler's
process
many VGA boards do not implement the vertical retrace interrupt,
including the IBM VGA Adapter where the traces are either cut or
removed
SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71,INT 7A"GO32"
--------H-0A---------------------------------
INT 0A - IRQ2 - Tandy 1000-series HARD DISK
Notes: this interrupt may be masked by setting bit 2 on I/O port 21h
the Tandy 1000, 1000A, and 1000HD use IRQ2 for the hard disk; the
1000EX, HX, RLX, RLX-HD, RLX-B, RLX-HD-B use IRQ5 instead; the
1000RL, RL-HD, SL, SL/2, TL, TL/2, and TL/3 are jumper-selectable
for either IRQ2 or IRQ5 (default IRQ5); the 1000SX and TX are
DIP-switch selectable for IRQ2 or IRQ5 (default IRQ2); the RSX and
RSX-HD use IRQ14. Tandy systems which use IRQ2 for the hard disk
interrupt use IRQ5 for vertical retrace.
SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71
--------H-0A---------------------------------
INT 0A - IRQ2 - ROLAND MPU MIDI INTERFACE
Note: newer Roland cards and MIDI interfaces by other manufacturers use
a jumper-selectable IRQ, but software and hardware generally defaults
to IRQ2
SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71,INT 7A"GO32"
--------C-0A---------------------------------
INT 0A P - CPU-generated (80286+) - INVALID TASK STATE SEGMENT
Desc: automatically called during a task switch if the new TSS specified by
the task gate is invalid for any of the following reasons:
TSS limit is less than 43 (80286) or 103 (80386/80486)
LDT selector invalid or segment not present
null SS selector, or SS selector outside LDT/GDT limit
stack segment is read-only
stack segment DPL differs from new CPL, or RPL <> CPL
CS selector is outside LDT/GDT limit or not code
non-conforming code segment's DPL differs from CPL
conforming code segment's DPL > CPL
DS/ES selectors outside LDT/GDT limit or not readable segments
Note: the handler must use a task gate in order to have a valid TSS under
which to execute; it must also reset the busy bit in the new TSS
SeeAlso: INT 0B"CPU"
--------H-0B---------------------------------
INT 0B - IRQ3 - SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS (COM2)
Desc: automatically asserted by the UART when COM2 needs attention, if the
UART has been programmed to generate interrupts
Notes: the TOPS and PCnet adapters use this interrupt request line as an
alternate
on PS/2s, COM2 through COM8 share this interrupt; on many PC's, COM4
shares this interrupt
may be masked by setting bit 3 on I/O port 21h

INT 0B P - CPU-generated (80286+) - SEGMENT NOT PRESENT
Desc: generated when loading a segment register if the segment descriptor
indicates that the segment is not currently in memory, unless the
segment is an LDT (see INT 0A"CPU") or stack segment (see
INT 0C"CPU") needed by a task switch
Note: may be used to implement virtual memory by loading in segments as they
are accessed, clearing the "not present" bit after loading

INT 0B - HP 95LX - LOW-LEVEL KEYBOARD HANDLER
Desc: this is the lowest-level keyboard handler on an HP 95LX palmtop
Note: debounces key, places the keycode in I/O register 60h, and calls INT 09
SeeAlso: INT 09,INT 0D"HP 95LX",INT 15/AX=4DD4h
--------H-0C---------------------------------
INT 0C - IRQ4 - SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS (COM1)
Desc: automatically asserted by the UART when COM1 needs attention, if the
UART has been programmed to generate interrupts
BUG: this vector is modified but not restored by Direct Access v4.0, and
may be left dangling by other programs written with the same version
of compiled BASIC
Notes: on many PC's, COM3 shares this interrupt
may be masked by setting bit 4 on I/O port 21h
SeeAlso: INT 0B"COM2",INT 54"DESQview",INT 5C"DoubleDOS",INT 7C"GO32"
--------C-0C---------------------------------
INT 0C - CPU-generated (80286+) - STACK FAULT
Desc: this interrupt is generated in protected mode on a stack overflow or
underflow, or if an inter-level transition or task switch references
a stack segment marked "not present"; it is generated in real mode
on accessing a word operand at SS:FFFFh
Note: the 80286 will shut down in real mode if SP=1 before a push. On the
PC AT and compatibles, external circuitry generates a reset on
shutdown.

whose entry point address (see #0006) is offset 100h in the segment
pointed at by this vector
(Table 0006)
Call the System 36/38 emulator API entry point with:
AH = function
03h update screen
05h select next session
AL = session number (00h-03h)
Return: AL = session type code
00h not active
01h display session
02h printer session
FEh invalid session number
DS = requested session's data segment (0 if not active)
(see #0007)
Return: ???

INT 0D - IRQ5 - FIXED DISK (PC,XT), LPT2 (AT), reserved (PS/2)
Notes: under DESQview, only the INT 15h vector and BASIC segment address (the
word at 0000h:0510h) may be assumed to be valid for the handler's
process
the Tandy 1000, 1000A, and 1000HD use IRQ2 for the hard disk; the
1000EX, HX, RLX, RLX-HD, RLX-B, RLX-HD-B use IRQ5 instead; the
1000RL, RL-HD, SL, SL/2, TL, TL/2, and TL/3 are jumper-selectable
for either IRQ2 or IRQ5 (default IRQ5); the 1000SX and TX are
DIP-switch selectable for IRQ2 or IRQ5 (default IRQ2); the RSX and
RSX-HD use IRQ14. Tandy systems which use IRQ2 for the hard disk
interrupt use IRQ5 for vertical retrace.
may be masked by setting bit 5 on I/O port 21h

--------C-0D---------------------------------
INT 0D - CPU-generated (80286+) - GENERAL PROTECTION VIOLATION
Desc: the CPU generates this interrupt when it detects a protection violation
which does not fit under any other category having a separate
interrupt
Notes: called in real mode when
an instruction accesses a memory operand extending beyond offset
FFFFh (i.e. WORD at FFFFh or DWORD at FFFDh or higher) in segment
CS, DS, ES, FG, or GS
a PUSH MEM or POP MEM instruction contains an invalid bit encoding
in the second byte
an instruction exceeds the maximum length allowed (10 bytes for
80286, 15 bytes for 80386/80486)
an instruction wraps from offset FFFFh to offset 0000h
called in protected mode on protection violations not covered by INT 06
through INT 0C, including
segment limit violations
write to read-only segments
accesses using null DS or ES selectors
accesses to segments with privilege greater than CPL
wrong descriptor type
called on 80486 protected-mode floating-point protection fault

Notes:
[1] interlaced only
[2] for ATI EGA Wonder, mode 08h is only valid if SMS.COM is loaded resident.
SMS maps mode 08h to mode 27h if the byte at location 0040:0063 is 0B4h,
otherwise to mode 23h, thus selecting the appropriate (monochrome or
color) 132x25 character mode.
for ATI VGA Wonder, mode 08h is the same, and only valid if VCONFIG loaded
resident
[3] early XGA boards support 132-column text but do not have this BIOS mode
[4] DESQview intercepts calls to change into these two modes (21h is page 0,
22h is page 1) even if there is no Hercules graphics board installed
[5] ATI BIOS v4-1.00 has a text-scrolling bug in this mode
[6] for AT&T VDC overlay modes, BL contains the DEB mode, which may be 06h,
40h, or 44h
[7] BIOS text support is broken in this undocumented mode; scrolling moves only
about 1/3 of the screen (and does even that portion incorrectly), while
screen clears only clear about 3/4.
[8] The Oak OTI-037/067/077 modes are present in the Oak VGA BIOS, which OEMs
may choose to use only partially or not at all; thus, not all Oak boards
support all "Oak" modes listed here
[9] this card uses the full 128K A000h-BFFFh range for the video buffer,
precluding the use of a monochrome adapter in the same system
[10] mode 17h supported by Tseng ET4000 BIOS 8.01X dated 09/14/90, but not
v8.01X dated 02/28/92; mode 21h supported by 02/28/92 version but not
09/14/90 version
[11] HERKULES simulates a 90x45 text mode in Hercules graphics mode; the
installation check for HERKULES.COM is the signature "Herkules" two bytes
beyond the INT 10 handler
[12] The Realtek RTVGA BIOS v3.C10 crashes when attempting to switch into modes
21h or 27h; this version of the BIOS also sets the BIOS data area
incorrectly for extended text modes, resulting in scrolling after only
24 lines (the VMODE.EXE utility does set the data area correctly)
[13] The Tandy 1000SL/TL BIOS does not actually support this mode

UltraVision scales size to the current font height by assuming 14-line
monochrome and 8-line color fonts; this call is not valid if cursor
emulation has been disabled
applications which wish to change the cursor by programming the
hardware directly on EGA or above should call INT 10/AX=1130h or
read 0040h:0085h first to determine the current font height
on some adapters, setting the end line greater than the number of lines

Return: BH = palette or attribute register value
Note: UltraVision v2+ supports this function even on color EGA systems in
video modes 00h-03h, 10h, and 12h; direct programming of the palette
registers will cause incorrect results because the EGA registers are

INT 10 - VIDEO - TEXT-MODE CHARACTER GENERATOR FUNCTIONS (PS, EGA, VGA)
AH = 11h
The following functions will cause a mode set, completely resetting
the video environment, but without clearing the video buffer
AL = 00h, 10h: load user-specified patterns
ES:BP -> user table
CX = count of patterns to store
DX = character offset into map 2 block
BL = block to load in map 2
BH = number of bytes per character pattern

BL = block specifier (see #0018)
AL = 04h, 14h: load ROM 8x16 character set (VGA)
BL = block to load
Notes: The routines called with AL=1xh are designed to be called only
immediately after a mode set and are similar to the routines called
with AL=0xh, except that:
Page 0 must be active.
Bytes/character is recalculated.
Max character rows is recalculated.
CRT buffer length is recalculated.
CRTC registers are reprogrammed as follows:
R09 = bytes/char-1 ; max scan line (mode 7 only)
R0A = bytes/char-2 ; cursor start
R0B = 0 ; cursor end
R12 = ((rows+1)*(bytes/char))-1 ; vertical display end
R14 = bytes/char ; underline loc
(*** BUG: should be 1 less ***)
the current block specifiers may be determined with INT 10/AH=1Bh,
looking at offsets 2Bh and 2Ch of the returned data (VGA only)

ES:BX -> boot sector of future 2M diskette
Return: CF set on error

Program: 2M is a TSR developed by Ciriaco Garcia de Celis to support
non standard diskettes with 820-902/1476-1558K (5.25 DD/HD)
and 984-1066/1804-1886K (3.5 DD/HD)
Notes: it is not necessary to call AH=17h/AH=18h first (will be ignored)
the boot sector can be obtained from an already-formatted 2M diskette
(by calling AH=02h with head number 80h for 2M v2+)
the installation check for 2M must search for a "CiriSOFT:2M:1.3"
signature string or similar (recomended ":2M:" substring) in the
CiriSOFT TSR interface
the diskette format must always begin on cylinder 0 head 0
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 secuential phases to improve performance

DL = drive number (80h, 81h)
Return: CF clear
AH = 00h
Program: SWBIOS is a TSR by Ontrack Computer Systems
Desc: the following INT 13 call will add 1024 to the specified cylinder
number to get the actual cylinder number desired
Notes: the flag is cleared by all INT 13 calls except AH=EEh and AH=EFh
Disk Manager also supports these calls
this function is also supported by HyperDisk v4.01+ and PC-Cache v5.5+,
in order to allow caching of drives using SWBIOS to access more than
1024 cylinders
for software which supports that call, this function is equivalent to
calling AH=EFh with CX=0400h

INT 13 - Ontrack Drive Rocket - SET CYLINDER OFFSET
AH = EFh
CX = cylinder offset for next INT 13 call
DL = drive number (80h, 81h)
Return: CF clear
AH = 00h
Program: Drive Rocket is a drive accelerator by Ontrack Computer Systems for
IDE drives supporting the read multiple and write multiple commands
Desc: the following INT 13 call will add the number given by this call to
the specified cylinder to get the actual cylinder number, then reset
the offset to zero
Note: this function is also supported by the NOW! disk cache, and presumably
newer versions of SWBIOS and Disk Manager
for software which supports this call, AH=EEh is equivalent to calling
this function with CX=0400h
the cylinder offset is reset to 0 by all INT 13 called except AH=EEh
and AH=EFh
SeeAlso: AX=7B00h

INT 13 - SWBIOS - INSTALLATION CHECK
AH = F9h
DL = drive number (80h,81h)
Return: CF clear
DX = configuration word
bit 15 set if other SWBIOS extensions available
CF set on error
Program: SWBIOS is a TSR by Ontrack Computer Systems
Note: Disk Manager also supports these calls

INT 13 - PC Tools v8+ VSAFE, VWATCH - API
AH = FAh
DX = 5945h
AL = function (00h-07h)
Return: varies by function
if not installed:
CF set
AH = 01h
Note: this API is identical to the ones on INT 16/AH=FAh and INT 21/AH=FAh,
so it is listed in its entirety under INT 16/AX=FA00h and following
SeeAlso: INT 16/AX=FA00h
--------d-13FE-------------------------------
INT 13 - SWBIOS - GET EXTENDED CYLINDER COUNT
AH = FEh
DL = drive number (80h, 81h)
Return: CF clear
DX = number of cylinders beyond 1024 on drive
Program: SWBIOS is a TSR by Ontrack Computer Systems
Notes: standard INT 13/AH=08h will return a cylinder count truncated to 1024
BIOS without this extension would return count modulo 1024
Disk Manager also supports these calls
SeeAlso: AH=EEh

INT 13 - UNIQUE UX Turbo Utility - SET TURBO MODE
AX = FFFFh
BH = AAh
BL = subfunction
00h installation check
Return: AX = 1234h if installed
01h turn on Turbo mode
02h turn off Turbo mode
03h set Turbo mode according to hardware switch
04h set disk access to Turbo mode
05h set disk access to Normal mode
