Notes: the BIOS sets this word to zero if is unable to find any serial ports
at the addresses it is programmed to check at boot
DOS and BIOS serial device numbers may be redefined by re-assigning
these values of the base I/O addresses stored here
Under DR-OpenDOS 7.02+ this setting can be changed with the
undocumented CONFIG.SYS COM1=[port_address|logical_no][,[timeout]]
directive, whereby port_address = 200h..3F8h, logical_no = 0 or 1..4,
timeout=0..255 (default 1).

--------P-M00400008--------------------------
MEM 0040h:0008h - BASE I/O ADDRESS OF FIRST PARALLEL I/O PORT
Size: WORD
Notes: the BIOS POST routine fills in the parallel port address fields in
turn as it finds parallel ports. All fields beyond the last one
for which a valid parallel port was found are set to zero.
the BIOS INT 17 handler uses these fields to address the parallel
ports
Under DR-OpenDOS 7.02+ this setting can be changed with the
undocumented CONFIG.SYS LPT1=[port_address|logical_no][,[timeout]]
directive, whereby port_address = 200h..3FCh, logical_no = 0 or 1..3,
timeout=0..255 (default 20).

MEM 0040h:000Eh - BASE I/O ADDRESS OF FOURTH PARALLEL I/O PORT (pre-PS/2)
Size: WORD
Notes: zero if fewer than four parallel ports installed
Under DR-OpenDOS 7.02+ this setting can be changed with the
undocumented CONFIG.SYS LPT4=(port_address|logical_no)[,[timeout]]
directive, where port_address = 200h..3FCh, logical_no = 0 or 1..3,
timeout=0..255 (default 20). To avoid any interference with the PS/2
and later interpretation, this will be rejected if this entry does
not hold 0, which would indicate it is used for different purposes.

016Dh BYTE AUX: assignment (0..3 for COM1:..COM4:; default: 1)
Notes: As long as the built-in AUX: or PRN: drivers are in effect, these
settings can be transparently reassigned at the DR-OpenDOS 7.02 /
DR-DOS 7.03 DOS BIOS device driver level (that is below DOS
redirection etc., but above ROM BIOS) using the undocumented
CONFIG.SYS AUX=0|1..4 and PRN=0|1..3|4 directive, where 1..4
specifies COM1:..COM4: or LPT1:..LPT4: and the high speed bypass 0
selects the previous hardwired equivalence of AUX: with COM1: and
PRN: with LPT1: at this level, saving a few clock cycles. The system
defaults to AUX=1 and PRN=1 (that is 0 in the internal variables).
If the high speed bypass was not enabled, the assigment can be changed
anytime later by updating these bytes, e.g. by a future issue of the
MODE utility. If the highspeed bypass has been enabled, changes have
no effect.
The LPT4 setting (or corresponding value 3) is valid for
DR-OpenDOS 7.02 and DR-DOS 7.02, but due to a bug introduced with the
partial removal of the LPT4: device, it must not be used under
DR-DOS 7.03.
The address 0070h:016Ch is only valid for DR-OpenDOS 7.02 up to
DR-DOS 7.03 (BDOS 73h), and will most probably change with future
releases of DR-DOS!
These bytes are local for each task running.

Format of S3 Local Peripheral Bus memory-mapped registers:
Offset Size Description (Table M0073)
FF00h DWORD LPB mode (see #M0074)
FF04h DWORD LPB FIFO status (see #M0075)
FF08h DWORD interrupt status (see #M0076)
FF0Ch DWORD frame buffer address 0 (bits 21-0, multiple of 8)
offset within frame buffer at which to store incoming data from
LPB when Streams Processor double-buffer control (see #M0065)
bit 4 clear
FF10h DWORD frame buffer address 1 (bits 21-0, multiple of 8)
offset within frame buffer at which to store incoming data from
LPB when Streams Processor double-buffer control (see #M0065)
bit 4 is set
FF14h DWORD "direct address" = index for FF18h (see #M0077)
FF18h DWORD "direct data" (see #M0077)
Note: the direct address/direct data registers presumably rely
on the attached device inserting data into the digital video
stream, as on a Diamond Stealth64 Video, the "direct data"
appears to reflect the video stream data (i.e. it varies, but
with a pattern that depends on the video image, and stops
varying when video is frozen)
FF1Ch DWORD general purpose I/O (see #M0078)
FF20h DWORD LPB serial port -- I2C/DDC access (see #M0079)
FF24h DWORD input window size (high word = rows, low word = columns)
FF28h DWORD data offsets
(video alignment; high word = rows ;low word = columns)
FF2Ch DWORD horizontal decimation
bits 0-31 set indicate that bytes 0-31 (mod 32)
of each line should be dropped (in Video16 mode, each bit
controls a WORD); decimation is aligned with the start of
line as specified by the data offsets at FF28h
FF30h DWORD vertical decimation
bits 0-31 set indicate that lines 0-31 (mod 32) should be
dropped, i.e. setting this DWORD to 55555555h will drop
every other line; decimation starts with VSYNC regardless
of the data offsets specified at FF28h
FF34h DWORD line stride (number of bytes between starts of successive lines
of video data)
must be multiple of 4 -- lowest two bits forced to 0
FF38h 3 DWORDs unused??? (seem to echo FF34h)
FF40h 8 DWORDs LPB output FIFO - data transfer
writing to ANY of these DWORDs transfers a value to the FIFO;
this organization allows use of a REP MOVSD instruction to
fill the FIFO
on ISA bus, there must be a delay between successive writes

Range: any 8K boundary within segments C000h to DFFFh
Notes: The XGA memory mapped registers can be assigned to the last 1K block in
in each 8K block in the range of C0000h-DFFFFh; the base offset of
the 128 memory mapped lcoation for a particular XGA instance is
Segment:(1C00h+instance*80h) for each XGA installed in a system
(default instance is 6). The instance number may be read from the
XGA's Programmable Option Select registers
The XGA/A (PS/2 adapter) uses the 7KB area below the memory-mapped
register area for ROM data; the XGA (PS/2 onboard) has included
this area in it's video BIOS ROM.
Most of the memory mapped registers are from the graphics coprocessor,
while the I/O-registers are for the display controller.

Note: This is used by Peter Reilley's portable binary editor and viewer BEAV
to directly write into the Wang PC's video screen buffer (instead
of using INT 10/AH=02h,09h) after it has been mapped in by writing
BYTE 01h to the screen port (PORT 1010h for the 1st screen, 1020h
for the 2nd, 1030h for the 3rd, 1040h for the 4th). It will be
unmapped afterwards by writing BYTE 00h to the screen port.
Note, that this is only necessary when the INT 21/AX=4402h detection
method resulted in non-IBM PC characteristic (return values other
than 11h).

0Ah 6 BYTEs signature "03COMPAQ"
Notes: The full "03COMPAQ" signature can be found in (at least) Compaq 386
machines which have dual harddisk controller. (see also CMOS 70h)
However, the 6-byte "COMPAQ" signature also seems to be available
in other Compaq machines with dual hard disk controllers, at least
the MS-DOS/PC DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM checks for if before it calls
INT 15/AX=E400h and INT 15/AX=E480h.
Compaq's extra memory is mappable memory starting at FE00h:0000h
growing downwards. It can be made available for example with
Novell DOS 7+ EMM386.EXE /COMPAQ=ON.
Although this structure resides at a ROM-address it is actually write-
protected RAM. To write to the structure to map in Compaq extra
memory the write-protection must be temporarily disabled by setting
bit 1 at WORD 80C00000h.

MEM FEE00000h - Pentium - LOCAL APIC
Size: 4096 BYTEs
Notes: the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller built into
multiprocessor-capable Pentiums (P54C, etc. -- basically 75MHz and
faster Pentiums) maps its registers into the top of the physical
address space on data reads and writes, but not on code reads;
data accesses to the APIC registers do not cause external bus
cycles
the APIC's registers are only visible when the APIC is enabled (which
occurs at CPU reset when external data lines contain proper signals);
all accesses to APIC registers should use 32-bit reads or writes, as
8-bit and 16-bit accesses may produce unpredictable results
the PentiumPro (P6) permits the address at which the local APIC
appears to be changed with Model-Specific Register 0000001Bh

Note: the original IBM BIOS, and thus most other BIOSes, sets this byte to
01h at midnight; a few (such as the Eagle PC-2) increment it each
time midnight is passed. The former behavior results in lost days
if multiple midnights pass between "get-time" calls while the machine
is powered up.

Size: 2 BYTEs
016Ch BYTE PRN: assignment (0..2 for LPT1:..LPT3: (3 for LPT4:); default: 1)
016Dh BYTE AUX: assignment (0..3 for COM1:..COM4:; default: 1)
Notes: As long as the built-in AUX: or PRN: drivers are in effect, these
settings can be transparently reassigned at the DR-OpenDOS 7.02 /
DR-DOS 7.03 DOS BIOS device driver level (that is below DOS
redirection etc., but above ROM BIOS) using the undocumented
CONFIG.SYS AUX=0|1..4 and PRN=0|1..3|4 directive, where 1..4
specifies COM1:..COM4: or LPT1:..LPT4: and the high speed bypass 0
selects the previous hardwired equivalence of AUX: with COM1: and
PRN: with LPT1: at this level, saving a few clock cycles. The system
defaults to AUX=1 and PRN=1 (that is 0 in the internal variables).
If the high speed bypass was not enabled, the assigment can be changed
anytime later by updating these bytes, e.g. by a future issue of the
MODE utility. If the highspeed bypass has been enabled, changes have
no effect.
The LPT4 setting (or corresponding value 3) is valid for
DR-OpenDOS 7.02 and DR-DOS 7.02, but due to a bug introduced with the
partial removal of the LPT4: device, it must not be used under
DR-DOS 7.03.
The address 0070h:016Ch is only valid for DR-OpenDOS 7.02 up to
DR-DOS 7.03 (BDOS 73h), and will most probably change with future
releases of DR-DOS!
These bytes are local for each task running.

Format of S3 Local Peripheral Bus memory-mapped registers:
Offset Size Description (Table M0073)
FF00h DWORD LPB mode (see #M0074)
FF04h DWORD LPB FIFO status (see #M0075)
FF08h DWORD interrupt status (see #M0076)
FF0Ch DWORD frame buffer address 0 (bits 21-0, multiple of 8)
offset within frame buffer at which to store incoming data from
LPB when Streams Processor double-buffer control (see #M0065)
bit 4 clear
FF10h DWORD frame buffer address 1 (bits 21-0, multiple of 8)
offset within frame buffer at which to store incoming data from
LPB when Streams Processor double-buffer control (see #M0065)
bit 4 is set
FF14h DWORD "direct address" = index for FF18h (see #M0077)
FF18h DWORD "direct data" (see #M0077)
Note: the direct address/direct data registers presumably rely
on the attached device inserting data into the digital video
stream, as on a Diamond Stealth64 Video, the "direct data"
appears to reflect the video stream data (i.e. it varies, but
with a pattern that depends on the video image, and stops
varying when video is frozen)
FF1Ch DWORD general purpose I/O (see #M0078)
FF20h DWORD LPB serial port -- I2C/DDC access (see #M0079)
FF24h DWORD input window size (high word = rows, low word = columns)
FF28h DWORD data offsets
(video alignment; high word = rows ;low word = columns)
FF2Ch DWORD horizontal decimation
bits 0-31 set indicate that bytes 0-31 (mod 32)
of each line should be dropped (in Video16 mode, each bit
controls a WORD); decimation is aligned with the start of
line as specified by the data offsets at FF28h
FF30h DWORD vertical decimation
bits 0-31 set indicate that lines 0-31 (mod 32) should be
dropped, i.e. setting this DWORD to 55555555h will drop
every other line; decimation starts with VSYNC regardless
of the data offsets specified at FF28h
FF34h DWORD line stride (number of bytes between starts of successive lines
of video data)
must be multiple of 4 -- lowest two bits forced to 0
FF38h 3 DWORDs unused??? (seem to echo FF34h)
FF40h 8 DWORDs LPB output FIFO - data transfer
writing to ANY of these DWORDs transfers a value to the FIFO;
this organization allows use of a REP MOVSD instruction to
fill the FIFO
on ISA bus, there must be a delay between successive writes

BYTE 01h to the screen port (PORT 1010h for the 1st screen, 1020h
for the 2nd, 1030h for the 3rd, 1040h for the 4th). It will be
unmapped afterwards by writing BYTE 00h to the screen port.
Note, that this is only necessary when the INT 21/AX=4402h detection
method resulted in non-IBM PC characteristic (return values other
than 11h).

Note: Original IBM ATs with a multi-sector hard disk ROM-BIOS bug can be
identified by checking a (currently unknown) signature at this

memory
08h 2 BYTEs product class signature "03"
0Ah 6 BYTEs signature "03COMPAQ"
Notes: The full "03COMPAQ" signature can be found in (at least) Compaq 386
machines which have dual harddisk controller. (see also CMOS 70h)
However, the 6-byte "COMPAQ" signature also seems to be available
in other Compaq machines with dual hard disk controllers, at least
the MS-DOS/PC DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM checks for if before it calls
INT 15/AX=E400h and INT 15/AX=E480h.
Compaq's extra memory is mappable memory starting at FE00h:0000h
growing downwards. It can be made available for example with
Novell DOS 7+ EMM386.EXE /COMPAQ=ON.
Although this structure resides at a ROM-address it is actually write-
protected RAM. To write to the structure to map in Compaq extra
memory the write-protection must be temporarily disabled by setting
bit 1 at WORD 80C00000h.

MEM FEE00000h - Pentium - LOCAL APIC
Size: 4096 BYTEs
Notes: the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller built into
multiprocessor-capable Pentiums (P54C, etc. -- basically 75MHz and
faster Pentiums) maps its registers into the top of the physical
address space on data reads and writes, but not on code reads;
data accesses to the APIC registers do not cause external bus
cycles
the APIC's registers are only visible when the APIC is enabled (which
occurs at CPU reset when external data lines contain proper signals);
all accesses to APIC registers should use 32-bit reads or writes, as
8-bit and 16-bit accesses may produce unpredictable results
the PentiumPro (P6) permits the address at which the local APIC
appears to be changed with Model-Specific Register 0000001Bh
