Additional Bus Checkpoints
While control is inside the different bus routines, additional
checkpoints are output to I/O port address 0080h as word to identify
the routines being executed.
These are word checkpoints. The low byte of checkpoint is the system
BIOS checkpoint where control is passed to the different bus routines.
The high byte of checkpoint indicates that the routine is being
executed in different buses.
High Byte
The high byte of these checkpoints includes the following information:
