> (1) I'm talking about pure realmode, so 2Fh 1680h is what I need. Yes, as I mentioned, if you're in real or V86 mode (not protected mode) then attempting 2F.1680 via 31.0300 is of course impossible and not necessary.

I haven't looked into it much yet. It seems to miss an installation check but you could probably call it alongside other idling. > (4) I am not convinced that I should NOT call int 28h.

Regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
