INT 1A - Tandy 2500, Tandy 1000L series - START PLAYING DIGITAL SOUND AH = 83h AL = volume (0=silence, 7=highest) CX = number of bytes to play DX = time between sound samples (multiples of 273 nanoseconds) only bits 11-0 used ES:BX -> sound data (array of 8-bit unsigned PCM samples) Return: AH = 00h CF set if sound is busy CF clear if sound chip is free Notes: this call returns immediately while the sound plays in the background; the sound chip is clocked at 3.57 MHz, with the low 12 bits of DX specifying the clock divisor The BIOS appears to call INT 15/AX=91FBh when the sound device underflows to allow another INT 1A/AH=83h for seamless playing of long sounds.
