Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Predefined device types that may use Device Post 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)
 
     The ROM BIOS printer routine does not invoke this function because
     printer output is not interrupt driven.
 
     A multitasking program manager would be expected to capture Int
     15h Function 91h so that it can be notified when I/O is completed
     and awaken the requesting task. The default BIOS routine for this
     function simply returns with the carry flag clear and AH = 00h.
