A.3
EX-BIOS Drivers and Function-s
Many additional features of the HP system can be accessed through the software interrupt INT
6FH. To call the EX-BIOS extensions, the BP register must contain the vector address of the
desired driver, the AH register must contain the function code, and the AL register must contain
the subfunction code. The rest of the registers are available for passing data and returning data
to and from the routine.
In general the AX, BP and DS registers are not preserved. They must be preserved by the calling
routine if it needs them. See Section 2 for an example showing how EX-BIOS drivers are called.
