You cannot use function 0212h unless you have a DPMI 1.0 server.  There are a
couple of servers which support DPMI 1.0 (386Max and I think OS/2), but most
of them don't.  In particular, Windows 3.X and 9X only support DPMI 0.9.

The only alternative is to use function 0203h, which is supported by DPMI
0.9.

Why exactly do you need function 0212h?
