Int 15 Fn 83 - BIOS - Set Event Wait Interval (at,ps50+) [B]
AH = 83h
AL = subfunction
00h set interval
CX:DX = microseconds to delay
ES:BX -> byte whose high bit is to be set at end of interval
01h cancel wait interval
Return: CF set on error or function already busy
AH = status
80h invalid command (PC,PCjr)
86h function not supported (XT and later)
CF clear if successful
Notes: the resolution of the wait period is 977 microseconds on most systems
because most BIOSes use the 1/1024 second fast interrupt from the AT
real-time clock chip which is available on INT 70
IBM AT 1/10/84 BIOS ignores AL and always performs subfunction 00h
