Full and final report on trapping in various BIOSes: on the machines
listed, it was always NL that caused the crash. Once that was omitted,
the whole routine ran flawlessly. Nor did any other calls have to be
omitted.
Compaq LTE 5200 laptop, P120 CPU, Compaq BIOS 11/15/96; version
"unknown" to W95B, which came installed (2d-hand machine)
Compaq DeskPro 6000, Compaq BIOS 12/03/96
IBM ThinkPad 760XL, IBM BIOS 9/25/97, EPP BIOS Rev. 31.00
Locally assembled PC, PCChips 810 L Mobo, AMD Duron CPU, American
Megatrends BIOS, 09/13/02, BIOS Version 1.00
Locally assembled PC, ASRock Mobo, AMD Sempron CPU, BIOS American
Megatrends, 07/19/04
And here's a weird one: Windows (98SE) couldn't ID the BIOS Version:
Device Manager reported "BIOS version unknown." That's no doubt because
this system can support an Athlon 64 CPU.
