BIOS32: Difference between revisions

BIOS32 is a method for calling BIOS services from either 16-Bit Real Mode, 16-Bit Protected Mode or 32-Bit Protected Mode. This method can be used to find BIOS32 services and execute BIOS32 methods, but it does not allow you to call "legacy" BIOS calls, directly, like INT 0x10 and INT 0x13 methods. It is mainly used for PNP and PCI services, but there may be other services available, as well. These services are not well documented, and are not necessarily supported on all systems. The BIOS32 API provides a method to query the system for support for a specific service, but it does not provide any method for getting a complete list of supported services.
