Int 18 - Diskless Boot Hook (start Cassette BASIC) [B]
Desc: called when there is no bootable disk available to the system
Notes: only PCs produced by IBM contain BASIC in ROM, so the action is
unpredictable on compatibles; this interrupt often reboots the
system, and often has no effect at all
network cards with their own BIOS can hook this interrupt to allow
a diskless boot off the network (even when a hard disk is present
if none of the partitions is marked as the boot partition)
