DEFINT A-Z
SUB WaitMillisec (Millisecs)
  DIM Regs AS RegType
  MS& = Millisecs * 977&              'MicroSeconds
  Regs..ax = &H8600
  Regs.cx = Millisecs \ 67            'cx& = MS& \ &h10000
.
  dx& = MS& AND &HFFFF                'dx& = MS& MOD &H10000
  IF dx& > &H7FFF THEN
    Regs.dx = &H10000 - dx&
  ELSE
    Regs.dx = dx&
  END IF
.
  CALL Interrupt(&H15, Regs, Regs)
END SUB

Hope this helps.
