◄Summary► ◄Notes► ◄Back►
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Predefined device types are:
00H disk (may time-out)
01H floppy disk (may time-out)
02H keyboard (no time-out)
03H pointing device (PS/2, may time-out)
80H network (no time-out)
FCH fixed disk reset (PS/2, may time-out)
FDH floppy disk drive motor start (may time-out)
FEH printer (may time-out)
For network adapters, ES:BX points to a network control block (NCB).
A multitasking program manager would be expected to capture Int 15H
Function 90H so that it can dispatch other tasks while I/O is in
progress. The default BIOS routine for this function simply returns with
the carry flag clear and AH=00H.
