INT 15 - BIOS - SET EVENT WAIT INTERVAL (AT,PS50+) AH = 83h AL = subfunction 00h set interval CX:DX = microseconds to delay ES:BX -> byte whose high bit is to be set at end of interval 01h cancel wait interval Return: CF set on error or function already busy AH = status 80h invalid command (PC,PCjr) 86h function not supported (XT and later) CF clear if successful Notes: the resolution of the wait period is 977 microseconds on many systems because many BIOSes use the 1/1024 second fast interrupt from the AT real-time clock chip which is available on INT 70 IBM AT 1984/1/10 BIOS ignores AL and always performs subfunction 00h SeeAlso: AH=41h,AH=86h,INT 70,MEM 0040h:0098h,MEM 0040h:009Ch
