now appear correctly as the Bochs panic message. Now we can get rid of messages
with the line number in the source file.
- updated / fixed description in biosdev.cc
- applied patch from sava (t.ebisawa / http://ebisa.hp.infoseek.co.jp/bochs/arcs/bochs-2.1.1-jpfix-20040214.zip)
* int09_handler: pusha before int15, ah=4f
(for "jis_a01" japanese keybord driver, which breaks some registers)
* int15_function: add new functions int15_function32, int15_function_mouse
(to avoid stack overflow ... DOS/Win9x works better)
* int16, ah=00/01/10/11 ignore special key code (F0)
- set missing return value and flag for unimplemented EISA BIOS
- debug message for unsupported EISA bus features added (int 15h, ah = d8h)
- moving rom scan loop to a separate function saves space in the main post code
(TODO: add code for rom checksum)
- interrupt vector 0x79 set to 0 (TODO: some other vectors seem to be 0, too)
- since rombios.c also supports 8 processors, go ahead and build an 8 cpu
bios as well.

- parallel port detection fixed:
* write the value of AX to 0x0410, not BX
* the timeout value is a byte and now stored in CL
* the offset of the port address list is 2 bytes
* new floppy type 360k can be used in .bochsrc and the config interface
* media type and geometry can be set for the floppy type
* BIOS changes to make 360k floppy drives work
* bximage can create 360k images now
- new real mode PCI BIOS functions: find device, read/write byte/dword
- C code for PCI BIOS handles errors and prints messages only
- function setPCIaddr() no longer needed
- functions inw() and outw() no longer used by the PCI BIOS
- BIOS32 checksum calculation rewriten to prevent errors
- labels of protected mode PCI BIOS renamed
Linux (kernel 2.2.18) is able to use the new features.
Here is the list of changes:
* BIOS32 data structure added
* BIOS32 and protected mode PCI BIOS functions added. The BIOS32 function
returns a pointer to the PCI BIOS entry point when the service $PCI is
requested and the PCI hardware is present.
* Supported 32 bit functions: installation check, find pci device,
read configuration byte/word/dword, write configuration byte/word/dword
* real mode PCI BIOS installation check rewritten in assembler to use 32 bit
registers for the protected mode entry point and the 'PCI ' signature.
TODO:
* add missing functions of the PCI BIOS (if necessary)
* add missing features of the i440FX PCI bridge
* implement the other parts of the i440FX chipset (PCI-to-ISA bridge,
PCI IDE controller, USB controller)
