Int 70  - IRQ8 - Cmos Real-time Clock                                      [H]

Desc:  this interrupt is called when the real-time clock chip generates an
     alarm or periodic interrupt, among others.  The periodic interrupt
     occurs 1024 times per second.
Nots:  many BIOSes turn off the periodic interrupt in the INT 70h handler
     unless in an event wait (see INT 15/AH=83h or INT 15/AH=86h).
   may be masked by setting bit 0 on I/O port A1h
