Hi,
Has anyone got any tips/experience in accessing a PC BIOS's from QNX
(4.23) ?

Specifically, I need access to the Desktop Management Interface to get
system information.

I require the info while actually running QNX, so need to make the calls
from flat (protected 32-bit) model code. I can locate the BIOS SIC
structure, and make a function pointer from the fields there. The code
pointed at seems to be a function entry, but it does a mv ..0[di] early
on, which gives a SIGSEGV as di=0. What sets di in the BIOS ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Ian.
