- Has anybody had any luck accessing the EISA BIOS routines from OS/2? I've
- been trying to fabricate a descriptor to them using PhysToUVirt with no luck
- as yet. I've tried from both Ring 3 and Ring 0 and it fails at both levels.
- The documentation to PhysToUVirt says that that call can be used to gain
- access to BIOS code. This code needs to work under OS/2 1.x and 2.0.
-
- While I'm writing does anybody know how to query for the OS/2 rev
- programmatically, preferably from Ring 3? I've perused the DevHlp calls and
- haven't found anything that will accomplish this.
