Those of you who think logically probably have already seen this, but I let my desire to screw around with the hardware get the best of me in that CTRL-ALT-DEL assembly listing I posted. If you don't like tinkering with the hardware as much as I do, just delete the section of code with all of the INs and OUTs to the PPI, and replace it with: mov al, es:[bx] and al, 0F3h mov es:[bx], al This will effectively "turn off" the control and delete keys, which will in turn eliminate the ability to warm boot. Computers make wonderful toys...Oh, yeah- then, instead of the IRET, jmp to cs:Old09Int... Sheesh...I better type it up and post it...|-} --- * Origin: RadioLink!
