---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This service gives you quick access to the extended BIOS data area used
in the PS/2. If the carry flag is set on return, the extended BIOS data
area is not being used. If the carry flag is not set, the segment address
of the extended data area is in ES.
Notes: The ROM BIOS uses the extended data area as a
storage area for transient data. For example, the
addresses of device drivers are stored here.
