5.2.7 Emulated Features

Keyboard: INT 16 command interrupt

AH = 0:

read key from keyboard buffer

AH = 1:

check if keyboard buffer is empty

AH = 2:

report keyboard status bits

AH = 10h: see AH = 0
AH = 11h: see AH = 1

Video: INT 10 command interrupt

Remote video console supports only mode 3: text mode 80*25. In this mode it works like a twin of the main

display, which is always enabled.

AH = 0, AL=3: only, all other modes will be ignored on the remote console
AH = 2:

set cursor position (display page = 0)

AH = 6:

scroll up

AH = 7:

scroll down

AH =9:

write "char" and attribute

AH = 0Ah: write "char" and attribute
AH = 0Eh: write "char" teletype
AH = 13h: write text string (emulated over AH = 2 and AH = 0Eh commands)

Note:

Remote "emulator" does not support direct access to the screen memory. Popular software, such as Norton
Commander, will not work properly with remote video console, and the picture will be visible only on the
remote computer screen.

Floppy Disk: INT 13

When the remote floppy disk is enabled, all floppy disk requests will be redirected to the remote console

application; all requests to the hard disk will be executed by the native BIOS.

To make the "remote floppy disk" bootable, it is necessary to make a floppy image from a bootable floppy disk.
