Int 21 Fn 0A  - DOS 1+ - Buffered Input                                    [D]

   AH = 0Ah
   DS:DX -> buffer (see below)

Return: buffer filled with user input

Notes:  Break are checked, and INT 23 is called if either detected
   reads from standard input, which may be redirected under DOS 2+
   if the maximum buffer size (see below) is set to 00h, this call returns
     immediately without reading any input

 01h   BYTE    (input) number of chars from last input which may be recalled
       (return) number of characters actually read, excluding CR
