Description
OEM Specific-Cache control cache
Processor Status (1FLAGS) Verification.
Tests the following processor status flags: Carry, zero, sign,
overflow.
The BIOS sets each flag and verifies that they are set, then
turns each flag off and verifies that it is off.
Read/Write/Verify all the CPU registers except SS, SP, and BP
with data pattern FF and 00.
RAM must be periodically refreshed to keep the memory from
decaying. This function ensures that the memory refresh
function is working properly.
