1 /* Definitions of several known BIOS addresses. The addresses listed here
2 * are found in three memory areas that have been defined in <ibm/memory.h>.
3 * - the BIOS interrupt vectors
5 * - the motherboard BIOS memory
7 * Created: March 2005, Jorrit N. Herder
14 * The BIOS interrupt vector table (IVT) area (1024 B as of address 0x0000).
15 * Although this area holds 256 interrupt vectors (with jump addresses), some
16 * vectors actually contain important BIOS data. Some addresses are below.
