at the addresses it is programmed to check at boot
DOS and BIOS serial device numbers may be redefined by re-assigning
these values of the base I/O addresses stored here

Desc: non-zero if timer has counted past midnight since last call to
INT 1A/AH=00h
Note: the original IBM BIOS, and thus most other BIOSes, sets this byte to
01h at midnight; a few (such as the Eagle PC-2) increment it each
time midnight is passed. The former behavior results in lost days
if multiple midnights pass between "get-time" calls while the machine

MEM C800h:1C00h - IBM XGA, XGA/A - MEMORY-MAPPED REGISTERS
Range: any 8K boundary within segments C000h to DFFFh
Notes: The XGA memory mapped registers can be assigned to the last 1K block in
in each 8K block in the range of C0000h-DFFFFh; the base offset of
the 128 memory mapped lcoation for a particular XGA instance is
Segment:(1C00h+instance*80h) for each XGA installed in a system
(default instance is 6). The instance number may be read from the
XGA's Programmable Option Select registers
The XGA/A (PS/2 adapter) uses the 7KB area below the memory-mapped
register area for ROM data; the XGA (PS/2 onboard) has included
this area in it's video BIOS ROM.
Most of the memory mapped registers are from the graphics coprocessor,
while the I/O-registers are for the display controller.

Size: 4096 BYTEs
Notes: the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller built into
multiprocessor-capable Pentiums (P54C, etc. -- basically 75MHz and
faster Pentiums) maps its registers into the top of the physical
address space on data reads and writes, but not on code reads;
data accesses to the APIC registers do not cause external bus
cycles
the APIC's registers are only visible when the APIC is enabled (which
occurs at CPU reset when external data lines contain proper signals)
the PentiumPro (P6) permits the address at which the local APIC
appears to be changed with Model-Specific Register 0000001Bh
