Int 15 Fn 01  - Amstrad PC1512 - Write Data To Non-volatile RAM            [b]

   AH = 01h
   AL = NVRAM location (00h to 3Fh)
   BL = NVRAM data value

Return: AH = return code
       00h OK
       01h address bad
       02h write error

See Also: AH=02h"Amstrad"

Format of NVRAM:

 01h   BYTE    alarm time: seconds
 02h   BYTE    time of day: minutes
 03h   BYTE    alarm time: minutes
 04h   BYTE    time of day: hours
 05h   BYTE    alarm time: hours
 06h   BYTE    day of week, 1 = Sunday

 08h   BYTE    month
 09h   BYTE    year mod 100
 0Ah   BYTE    RTC status register A
       bit 7: set if date/time being updated
       bits 6-4: time base speed, default 010 = 32768 Hz
       bits 3-0: interrupt rate selection, default 0110 = 1024 Hz
 0Bh   BYTE    RTC status register B (see below)
 0Ch   BYTE    RTC status register C (read-only)
       bit 7: IRQF flag
       bit 6: PF flag
       bit 5: AF flag
       bit 4: UF flag
 0Dh   BYTE    RTC status register D
       bit 7: battery good
 0Eh  6 BYTEs  time and date machine last used
 14h   BYTE    user RAM checksum
 15h   WORD    Enter key scancode/ASCII code
 17h   WORD    Forward delete key scancode/ASCII code

 26h   BYTE    initial system UART setup byte
 27h   BYTE    initial external UART setup byte
 28h 24 BYTEs  available for user application

Note:  bytes 00h-0Dh are the same on the IBM AT as they are used/updated by
     the clock chip

Bitfields for RTC status register B:
 bit 7 clear if normal update, set if abort update
 bit 6 periodic interrupt enable
 bit 5 alarm interrupt enable
 bit 4 update end interrupt enable
 bit 3 square wave enable
 bit 2 date mode (clear = BCD, set = binary)
 bit 1 24-hour format
 bit 0 daylight saving time enable
