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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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.
