That is not possible. Only the vesa set bank function can be used with a "far call" instead of using the software interrupt for to set the banknumber of a banked vesamode. The pointer(offset,segment) for this "far call" can be found in the mode-info-buffer+0Ch. On my older et4000 isa-bus card(1 MB) and et4000-w32 vlb-bus card(2 MB) i found the portnumbers(3CDh and 3CBh) for to change the banknumber in the code of that cards when i was unassemble this function in there bios. Trying the same on a geforce4 ti4200 agp card(64 MB) i never found those portnumbers, because i have many problems to follow all of the many branches in the code.

What are interrupts initiated by instructions called?
Those would be software interrupts. Interrupts initiated by the hardware would be hardware interrupts. While the socket a mouse is plugged into would use a hardware interrupt, a mouse driver would use a software interrupt.
How do you updateflash your dell inspiron bios without a battery?
You have to use a power adapter which is usually in the standard package.
How do you connect a mouse to the bios?
Most BIOS won't use a mouse.
Do you Use commas around an idea that interrupts a sentence?
Yes, commas are used around an idea that interrupts a sentence. This interruption is known as an "interjection" and is set off by commas to help clarify the structure of the sentence.
How do you use whenever in a sentence?
My friend interrupts me, whenever I speak!
If your BIOS does not support a large-capacity drive that you want to install, what five choices do you have?
Let the Bios see the drive as a smaller drive Upgrade the bios Replace the motherboard Use software that interfaces between the older bios and the newer drive Use an ATA Controller card to provide the ATA connector and firmware substitute for the motherboard bios
What does Mac use instead of BIOS?
Windows uses BIOS while MAC uses EFI

Compare DOS and BIOS call?
BIOS is the basic input output system provides a routine procedure, and use a program written in BIOS features simple, readable, and easy to transplant. PC-DOS is the most important operating system, as it includes nearly a BIOSdevice management, directory management and file management procedures, is a fully featured, easy to use collection of the interrupt routine. Using the DOS operatingusing the appropriate functions of the BIOS than the operation more simple and lessdependent on some of the hardware. BIOS functions and DOS functions are called by software interrupts. Need tointerrupt the function number before the call into the AH register, handle the function number into the AL register, besides, usually need to register in the CPU to provide specialized call parameters. In general, DOS or BIOS function calls, has the followingbasic steps: 1, the call parameters into the specified register; 2, for the function number, put it into the AH; 3, for sub-function number, put it into the AL; 4, according to interruption of DOS or BIOS interrupt call; 5, check the return parameters are correct. BIOS and DOS interrupt interrupt the relationship shown in Figure 9.1. In the memory system, starting from the address 0FE000H 8K ROM (read-only memory) is equipped with a BIOS (Basic Iuput / output System) routine. Reside in theROM BIOS in the PC series of different microprocessors to provide a compatible system POST, boot loader, the main I / O devices and the interface control processfunction modules to handle all system interrupts. Use BIOS calls that bring great convenience to the programmer programming, programmers do not understand the details of hardware operation, the direct use of instruction set parameters, and thencall the BIOS interrupt the sub-function, so programs written using simple BIOSfunction can be Reading is good, and easy to transplant. DOS (Disk Operating System) is the most important PC, operating system, which isprovided by the floppy or hard disk. Its two DOS BIOS module IBMBIO.COM andIBMDOS.COM the more convenient to use because more and DOS module providesthe necessary tests, the DOS operating the corresponding functions of the BIOS than the use of more simple operation, but the hardware DOS Dependence less.
What type memory is used by bios and devices drivers?
BIOS and drivers use RAM (random access memory) however, in different forms. The BIOS is essentially a small chip of RAM that houses the code for running the operating system and the hardware. This hardware is controlled by the device drivers which run on the operating system which uses separate RAM which has a far greater capacity than the BIOS. this RAM is also shared by the operating system and is usually found in sticks that plug into the motherboard. the BIOS can operate without RAM but not the other way around
