I'm intended to write a hardware interrupt handler.

The handler must read some variables situated in the .data section. But I
can't assume DS points to MY .data section during the execution of my handler,
can I ?

How can I load DS with the right selector (I use TASM) ?

      mov   ax,@data
      mov   ds,ax
causes an exception.

What does _my_ds() return ? The current entry of DS or the entry DS should
have ?


Thanks in advance,


   Marc
