The addresses from 0E0000 to 0FFFFF are equal to 0FE0000 to 0FFFFFF. This is necessary due to differences in the memory addressing between Real and Protected Modes. 2) Late IBM XTs and ATs with support for the 101-key keyboards ran out of ROM space at the top of their ROM blocks. These machines "wrap around" and jump to an address lower than their original entry point to store their code. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 1024k � top of memory � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 976k � original BIOS area � 컴컴� 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � � extended BIOS area � <컴� 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 3) IBM PS/2s reserve the last K of memory before A000 for a scratch area for the ABIOS ROM routines. This limits PS/2 machines to 639k. Apparently only 10 to 20 bytes of memory is actually used; though there was room for that much down in unused portions of the BIOS Data Area, IBM evidently decided to leave room to grow. Sometimes other stuff can use the last K. OMTI hard disk controllers' firmware wanted the last K, as do some XTs with ROM- based disk caches. These don't like to coexist at all. SpeedStor (disk management software) has a program called OMTIfix bundled to allow it to work with these controllers. A few extended-VGA ANSI drivers also grab the last K. QEMM, 386Max, and other memory managers can relocate this memory to give a complete 640k. 4) When running with a 286 and memory manager board or on a 386, PC- MOS/386 relocates its kernel to the 0C000-0F000 high memory area to leave more of the lower 640k for applications. 0A000-0BFFFF is reserved for swapping video RAM as it becomes active. MOS supports monochrome and CGA modes directly. 5) Most AT compatible machines use the entire Fxxx block for BIOS. PS/2 and PS/2 compatible machines take an entire 128k from E000- FFFF. Most real IBM machines also have the BASIC ROMs taking up some of the high address space. A Brief Guide to Current Memory Terminology .................... 2**3 LOW MEMORY - 0000h to around 0:5(something), comprising the 80x8x interrupt vector table, the BIOS Data Area, DOS Data Area, etc. CONVENTIONAL MEMORY - from the end of low memory to the beginning of the "reserved by IBM" A000 segment (640k). HIGH MEMORY - originally noncontiguous RAM stuffed into the "reserved for ROM expansion" areas, typically segments D000 and E000. DOS normally can't access this memory without a driver of some sort, but it's easy to put RAMdisks and stuff in there. HIGH DOS MEMORY - same as above. CONVENTIONAL MEMORY - extra RAM stuck at A000, assuming the machine already has 640k, appears as conventional memory accessible to DOS and applications. IBM clones can typically add 64k before bumping into a mono card or 96k before hitting a color card. This address is part of the EGA/VGA video RAM area and most EGA cards don't like system memory at A000. With semi-compatible machines like the IBM PCjr or Sanyo 55x, it was possible to get as much as 960k of real, usable DOS conventional memory, since they used a different video system and had no hard disk ROM to break up the space between 640k and the beginning of the ROM BIOS. EXPANDED MEMORY - LIM 3.2, LIM 4.0, or EEMS 3.2 bank switched memory. A RAM "window" allows an application to save a block of RAM to an expansion board. The window size and location varies according to the EMS standard being used. EXTENDED MEMORY - this is the "native mode" address space of the 80286 and later chips. The "real mode", or 8088 addressing scheme, sees RAM as a collection of segments and offsets with a limit on segment size. "Protected mode" addressing uses a flat linear addressing scheme. 8088 and 80188 chips do not have extended memory. HIGH MEMORY - by fiddling a bit with the segment/offset stuff, you can get an extra block of addressable 8088-mode memory just over the 1 meg address space when using 80286 and later microprocessors. Microsoft issued their "HMA" (High Memory Area) standard to try to standardize use of this block. Though it really is "high" memory, "high" had for many years referred to memory between 640k and 1mb. This creates more confusion for new programmers. EMS - this is expanded memory as described above XMS - Microsoft is pushing an "Extended Memory Standard" which defines a page-switching scheme much like EMS. The only real difference is that XMS uses protected-mode RAM instead of a special paged RAM board. XMS - some severely brain-damaged jerk at IBM issued documentation for some IBM *EMS* boards referring to the boards as *XMS*. This was a classic blunder, and now some IBM-followers are picking up the aberrant terminology. This is guaranteed to confuse some people. To make it simple, if it needs an expansion board, it is EMS no matter what the vendor calls it. UMB - Upper Memory Blocks. These are defined in the Microsoft XMS Specification. Unfortunately, some people have begun using "UMB" to refer to the HMA and High DOS areas indiscriminately. PC Port Assignment ............................................. 2**4 The Intel 80x86 processors have a 64K I/O memory space for addressing external devices. The 8088 through 80286 processors can divide their I/O space into either 8 bit or 16 bit ports. The 386 and later can have 8, 16, or 32 bit ports. Some port addresses are mapped to the motherboard, others to the slots. The XT's boundary was at 200h, while the AT and EISA is at 100h. Many cards avoid the 100h-200h zone for XT compatibility. These are functions common across the IBM range. The PCjr, PC-AT, PC Convertible and PS/2 (both buses) have enhancements. In some cases, the AT and PS/2 series ignore, duplicate, or reassign ports arbitrarily. If your code incorporates specific port addresses for video or system board control it would be wise to have your application determine the machine type and video adapter and address the ports as required. hex address Function Models PCjr|PC|XT|AT|CVT|M30|PS2 0000-000F 8237 DMA controller PC------------------ 0000-001F 8237 DMA controller 1 -----AT---------PS2 0020-0027 8259A interrupt controller ------------------- 0020-002F IOSGA interrupt function ----------------PS2 0020-003F 8259A interrupt controller (AT) ------------------- 0020-0021 interrupt controller 1, 8259A PC----AT---------PS2 0040-0043 programmable timer 8253 PC------------------ 0040-0047 programmable timers ----------------PS2 0040-005F 8253-5 programmable timers -----AT------------ note 1) 0041 was memory refresh in PCs.

The locations are offset from segment 0, i.e. location 0000h has the address for int 0, etc. The table is 1024 bytes in length and contains 256 four byte vectors from 00h to 0FFh. Each address' location in memory can be found by multiplying the interrupt number by 4. For example, int 7 could be found by (7x4=28) or 1Bh (0000:001Bh). These interrupt vectors normally point to ROM tables or are taken over by DOS when an application is run. Some applications revector these interrupts to their own code to change the way the system responds to the user. DOS provides int 21h function 25h to change interrupts from a high level; altering the interrupt vector table directly is not recommended, nor would it really get you anywhere.

Automatically called at end of DIV or IDIV operation that results in error. Normally set by DOS to display an error message and abort the program. note 1) On an 8086/8088, the return address points to the following instruction. 2) On an 80286/80386, the return address points to the divide instruction. 3) Trapped by PC-MOS/386 to provide a default handler for divide overflow conditions. If the application does not have its own handler, MOS will terminate the program with an appropriate message. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 01h Single Step � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0004h) Taken after every instruction when CPU Trap Flag indicates single-step mode (bit 8 of FLAGS is 1). This is what makes the "T" command of DEBUG work for single stepping. Is not generated after MOV to segment register or POP of segment register. (unless you have a very early 8088 with the microcode bug). 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 02h Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0008h) Vector not disabled via CLI. Generated by NMI signal in hardware. This function is called in the event of a memory parity error or may occur in the event of other hardware problems or failures depending on the specific manufacturer's hardware. Displays the appropriate error message and halts the processor. Some AT chip sets apparently use int 02h to signal I/O errors as well as parity errors. This signal has various uses: POST parity error: all except PCjr & Convertible 80x87 coprocessor interrupt: all except PCjr & Convertible Keyboard interrupt: PCjr, Convertible I/O channel check: Convertible, PS/2 50+ Disk controller power-on request: Convertible System suspend: Convertible Realtime clock: Convertible System watchdog timer: PS/2 50+ Timeout interrupt: PS/2 50+ DMA timer time-out interrupt: PS/2 50+ Infrared keyboard link: PCjr 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 03h Breakpoint � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:000Ch) Taken when CPU executes the 1-byte int 3 (0CCh). Similar to (internal) the 8080's RST instruction. Generally used to set breakpoints for DEBUG. note 1) Also used by Turbo Pascal versions 1,2,3 when {$U+} specified. 2) Int 3s are sometimes inserted by the Microsoft Linker in response to an unresolved symbol. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 04h Divide overflow � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0010h) Generated by INTO instruction if OF flag is set. If the (internal) flag is not set, INTO is effectively a NOP. Used to trap any arithmetic errors when program is ready to handle them rather than immediately when they occur. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 05h Print Screen � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0014h) Service dumps the screen to the printer. Invoked by int 9 for shifted key 55 (PrtSc). Automatically called by the keyboard scan when PrtSc key is pressed. Normally executes a routine to print the screen, but may call any routine that can safely be executed from inside the keyboard handler. Status and result bytes are at address 0050:0000. (internal) BOUND Check Failed (80286+) Generated by BOUND instruction when the value to be tested is less than the indicated lower bound or greater than the indicated upper bound. entry AH 05h return absolute address 50:0 00h print screen has not been called, or upon return from a call there were no errors 01h print screen is already in progress 0FFh error encountered during printing note 1) Uses BIOS services to read the screen. 2) Output is directed to LPT1. 3) Revectored into GRAPHICS.COM if GRAPHICS.COM is loaded. 4) On the Tandy 1000TX this interrupt can be enabled or disabled across the expansion slots via a DIP switch. 5) With early versions of DOS 5.0, at PrtScr of a graphics display gets garbage when GRAPHICS.COM is loaded. This was fixed in one of the first updates. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 06h Reserved by IBM � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0018h) On the Tandy 1000TX this interrupt can be enabled or disabled across the expansion slots via a DIP switch. PC-MOS/386 in 386 mode uses this interrupt to signal memory allocation errors. The CS:IP of the offending instruction is placed on the stack. (internal) Undefined Opcode (80286+) 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 07h Reserved by IBM � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:00C0h) On the Tandy 1000TX this interrupt can be enabled or disabled across the expansion slots via a DIP switch. (internal) No Math Unit Available (80286+) note The 80286 and later can be programmed to generate an int 7 whenever an ESC instruction is encountered. This could be used to emulate an 80x87 series coprocessor in software and be transparent to the application software. It could also be used to make a non-Intel floating point processor emulate an 80x87. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 08h Timer � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0020h) 55ms timer "tick" issued 18.2 times per second. (IRQ0) 8259-1 Interrupt Controller Updates the system time at [0040:006C] (low word) and [0040:006E] (high word) and issues an int 1Ch (timer). (Int 1Ch points to an IRET instruction unless changed by a resident program). The timer interrupt is given the highest maskable interrupt priority upon power up. (internal) Double Fault (80286+ protected mode) Called when multiple exceptions occur on one instruction, or an exception occurs in an exception handler. If an exception occurs in the double fault handler, the CPU goes into SHUTDOWN mode (which circuitry in the PC/AT converts to a reset). entry AH 08h return absolute addresses: 40:6C number of interrupts since power on (4 bytes) 40:70 number of days since power on (1 byte) 40:67 day counter on all products after AT 40:40 motor control count - gets decremented and shuts off diskette motor if zero note 1) IBM PC LAN 1.2 and PC/MOS-386 require this count be 18.2Hz and will report errors if the timer rate is reprogrammed. 2) Some "turbo" XT clones were shipped with slower-than-18.2Hz timers so they would appear faster to benchmark software. Caveat emptor. 3) Trapped by PC-MOS/386 to ensure task switching is performed. This interrupt should never be disabled when running PC-MOS. 4) Trapped by Quarterdeck's DESQview. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 09h Keyboard � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0024h) Taken whenever a key is pressed or released. This is (IRQ1) normally a scan code, but may also be an ACK or NAK of a command on AT-type keyboards. The hardware provides the key pressed in a non-ASCII scan code format read at I/O port 60h. The servicer acknowledges receipt of the key by toggling bit 7 of port 61h. (Port 61h should be read first, then bit 7 ORed on, output to port 61h, then ANDed off, and resent to port 61h). The read key is decoded to yield an ASCII character, special function key (such as F1) or a control function like Left Shift Key. The converted ASCII character is placed into the next available position in the circular keyboard queue. It is put in the position indicated by queue tail when it will not cause the loss of earlier entered data. The queue head points to the oldest key pressed in the buffer which has not been removed from the queue (the normal process uses int 16h to remove keys from the queue and return the key value to the int 16h caller). The 16 word queue holds up to 16 keys. If the queue head equals the queue tail, the queue is empty. Valid keys in the queue comprise the upper byte scan code and the lower byte ASCII character. If the key pressed has no ASCII equivalent (i.e F1 to F12), the lower byte is zero. Toggle and shift keys are not placed in the buffer, but appear in the two status bytes at absolute addresses 0040:0017 and 0040:0018. Special key combinations will cause other events to occur: a) Ctrl-Alt-Del - Reboot computer b) Print screen - Call int 05h to print the current screen c) Ctrl-Break - Call int 1Bh control-break key processor (DOS) (internal) Math Unit Protection Fault (80286+ protected mode) entry AH 09h return at absolute memory addresses: 40:17 bit 0 right shift key depressed 1 left shift key depressed 2 control key depressed 3 alt key depressed 4 ScrollLock state has been toggled 5 NumLock state has been toggled 6 CapsLock state has been toggled 7 insert state is active 40:18 bit 0 left control key depressed 1 left alt key depressed 2 SysReq key depressed 3 Pause key has been toggled 4 ScrollLock key is depressed 5 NumLock key is depressed 6 CapsLock key is depressed 7 Insert key is depressed 40:96 bit 0 last code was the E1h hidden code 1 last code was the E0h hidden code 2 right control key down 3 right alt key down 4 101 key Enhanced keyboard installed 5 force NumLock if rd ID & kbx 6 last character was first ID character 7 doing a read ID (must be bit 0) 40:97 bit 0 ScrollLock indicator 1 NumLock indicator 2 CapsLock indicator 3 circus system indicator 4 ACK received 5 resend received flag 6 mode indicator update 7 keyboard transmit error flag 40:1E keyboard buffer (20h bytes) 40:1C buffer tail pointer 40:72 1234h if ctrl-alt-del pressed on keyboard AL scan code note 1) Int 05h invoked if PrtSc key pressed. 2) Int 1Bh invoked if Ctrl-Break key sequence pressed. 3) Int 15h, AH=85h invoked on AT and after if SysReq key is pressed. 4) Int 15h, AH=4Fh invoked on machines after AT. 5) Int 16h, BIOS keyboard functions, uses this interrupt. 6) PC-MOS/386 will issue this interrupt for keystrokes ocurring on remote serial terminals to simulate local access. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 0Ah EGA Vertical Retrace � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0028h) used by EGA vertical retrace (IRQ2) 8259-1 Interrupt Controller note 1) The TOPS and PCnet adapters use this IRQ line by default. 2) On systems equipped with 2 interrupt controller chips (8259), IRQ 2 is used to support the second interrupt controller. In this case, int 71h (IRQ 9) is used to replace IRQ 2. Hardware calls to int 71h are redirected to this interrupt to maintain compatibility. 3) IRQ 2 is used for vertical retrace signal on PS/2s with VGA on the motherboard. Most aftermarket VGA boards to not use this interrupt. 4) Some early Samsung machines routed IRQ2 to the onboard system clock and did not continue IRQ2 to the I/O bus. 5) The Roland LAPC-1 board uses IRQ2. 6) Elographics touchscreens use optionally use IRQ2.

This was probably the lowest IRQ level they felt safe using, but limits the A2000's use of network cards, etc. 6) This interrupt is used by part of the stack-switching code added to DOS 3.2 for use with Local Area Network adapters. 7) The PS/2 puts COM3 through COM8 at port addresses above 3FFh (not properly decoded by older PCs) and has all of them sharing IRQ3. 8) Toshiba 1600 laptop normally connects IRQ3 only to internal modem slot. You must run FORCE3.COM from Toshiba to enable IRQ3 for the expansion slot. 9) The BIOS Data Area was not set up to point to COM2 on POST in some early IBM PS/2 Model 50Z machines. 10) Marstek 105 scanner - optional IRQ. 11) Elographics touchscreens use optionally use IRQ 3. 12) Default for Stargate Plus 8 multiport serial board. 13) Tecmar/Wangtek PC-36 tape controller board - default IRQ. 14) Older versions of Microsoft BASICA pretty well booger the IRQ and port addresses for the serial ports when they exit. (internal) Not Present (80286+ protected mode) Generated when loading a segment register if the segment descriptor indicates that the segment is not currently in memory. May be used to implement virtual memory. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿔nterrupt 0Ch COM1 Serial Port � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� (0:0030h) Serial Port 1 (COM1) or internal modem in PCjr or Convertible (IRQ4) 8259-1 note 1) IRQ 4 may be used by SDLC (synchronous data-link control) or bisynchronous communications cards instead of a serial port. 2) On some PCs, this interrupt is shared by COM3. 3) Some Tandy computers use IRQ4 instead of IRQ5 for the hard disk interrupt. 4) Best performance of mice sometimes happens when they are configured for IRQ4 instead of IRQ3, since some mouse drivers may lock system interrupts for long periods. 5) Elographics touchscreens use optionally use IRQ 4. 6) Older versions of Microsoft BASICA pretty well booger the IRQ and port addresses for the serial ports when they exit.
