@CHIP-RTOS C Library - BIOS API

Header File:         #include <BIOS_API.H>

Here are the interface definition for the BIOS Interrupts.

The system BIOS in a regular PC offers many services, only a subset of which is required in embedded systems.   This subset is described here.

Some additional functions not found in a normal PC BIOS are provided for your convenience.
