Hi,

reading gateA20.c code, I've found that only two methods for enabling
the A20 line were used: the fast gate that use the I/O port 0x92 and the
"classic" one that use the keyboard controller.

However in newer BIOS there is a new way to enable the A20: the use of
the INT15 AX=2401 function...


I coded a small routine that try first to use the new routine if it is
available, otherwise continue as before...


Regards,
Giuseppe
