Exhaustive Master Audit List – INTERRUP.A / INTERRUP.B (Part 01)

[TYPO]

Label #10BF0F: Header: SET HIGH ADRESS MAP REGISTER -> Misspelling. Should be "ADDRESS".

Section INT 11 - BIOS - GET EQUIPMENT LIST: Note 11: contains two occurences of code -> Misspelling. Should be "occurrences".

Section INT 11 - BIOS - GET EQUIPMENT LIST: Note 11: signature for an applyable patch -> Misspelling. Should be "applicable".

Section INT 10 - VHRBIOS.SYS - GET INFO: SeeAlso: AH=96h"VHRBIOS.SYS -> Missing closing quotation mark. Should be AH=96h"VHRBIOS.SYS".

Label #10CB04: Description for BB80h: (48000, for 320x200) -> While mathematically correct, the comma after "48000" is inconsistent with the other page descriptions.

[TECH]
6. Table 00214 (Compaq advanced video functionality): Offset 15-12: 256K blocks. Standardize to 256KB or 256-KB.
7. Table 00226 (BIOS equipment list): Bit(s) 3-2: 16K banks and 64K banks. Standardize to 16KB and 64KB.
8. Label #12 (Back&Forth v1.62+): Return AX for version 1.71: (v1.71 = 00ABh).

• Verification:

1.71×100=171
1.71×100=171

.

171
171

in hex is ABh. The notation 00ABh is technically correct but the extra leading zeros are unusual for a WORD return value in this context.
9. Table 00234 (Disk operation status): 09h: data boundary error (attempted DMA across 64K boundary...). Standardize to 64KB.

[HEX]
10. Label #10DAAD (TSRUNIT v1.10): Program note: by Nir Sofer. Version is 1.10. Ensure any hex related to this versioning uses lowercase 'h' if not a decimal version number.
11. Table 00224 (EGA RIL entries): Offset 00h: 3DAh color. For consistency with the line above, it should include "modes": 3DAh color modes.

[FORMAT]
12. Table 00218 (UltraVision v2+ font names): The alignment of columns standard EGA, HiRes EGA, and VGA is brittle and may break in non-monospace viewers.
13. Section INT 10 - S3VBE/Core2.0 ... DEACTIVATE SPEED-UP: Note: functions 06h-FFh (e.g. AX=D006h-D0FFh). The range 06h-FFh is correct, but the example AX=D006h should ideally be listed as D006h to D0FFh.

Status: Audit abgeschlossen. Der Buchstabendreher in "ADRESS" und die klassischen RBIL-Typos (occurences, applyable) sind die wichtigsten Punkte.

BEREIT (V 4.2) für den nächsten Teil von INTERRUP.B. (Bitte nenne mir wieder die ungefähre Zeilenanzahl).

Section INT 13 - Future Domain SCSI ... FORMAT DRIVE WITH BAD SECTOR MAPPING: Table 00239, Offset 04h: 8*number of defects -> Missing space after the multiplier. Should be 8 * number of defects.

Table 00266 (PS/1 hard disk feature number): Value 77h: disable error correctioni -> Typo. Should be "correction".

Section INT 13 - HARD DISK - PS/1 ... SET MULTIPLE MODE: Return: CF set onerror -> Missing space. Should be "on error".

[TECH]
9. Table 00236 (Future Domain SCSI mode select data): Offset 0Ah: (512 standard, or 256) -> Technical clarification needed. Should be "512 bytes standard, or 256 bytes".
10. Section INT 13 - DISK - GET DRIVE PARAMETERS: Note 4: initialises CL to 00h -> Standardize to US English: "initializes".
11. Section INT 13 - DISK - GET DRIVE PARAMETERS: Note 12: count of hard disks installed in the system (DL) from this function. -> Ambiguous. DL returns the count, but it also identifies the drive on entry. (Note is acceptable but could be clearer).

[HEX]
12. Section INT 13 - SecureDrive - INSTALLATION CHECK: AX = 08000h -> Standardize. Redundant leading zero. Should be 8000h.
13. Table 00237 (Future Domain SCSI defect list info): Values 000, 100, 101. -> Missing binary suffix. Should be 000b, 100b, 101b.

Section INT 13 - Seagate ST01/ST01 - Set Device Type Qualifier: Header: ST01/ST01 -> Typo. Should be ST01/ST02 (consistent with the other Seagate entries).

Section INT 13 U - Seagate - ??? - RETURN IDENTIFICATION: Return AX: AX = 4321h if ST01/ST02h -> Suffix error. The h after the model number ST02 is misleading as it looks like a hex suffix for the model name. Should be "ST01/ST02".

Section INT 13 - Super PC-Kwik v5.10+: Label #1399: INT 10 - Super PC-Kwik -> Logic error. This is the INT 13 handler section. Should be INT 13.

[TYPO]
7. Table 00267 (Drive information block): Offset 14h: 0000h=not specified) -> Unmatched closing parenthesis.
8. Section INT 13 - QUICKCACHE II - FORCE IMMEDIATE INCREMENTAL FLUSH: Desc: up to "flushcount" dirty sectors -> Missing space in variable reference. Should be "flush count".
9. Section INT 13 - QUICKCACHE II - RESERVE MEMORY: BX description: conventional memory to reserve for apps -> "apps" is an informal abbreviation. Should be "applications".
10. Section INT 13 - IBM/MS INT 13 Extensions - LOCK/UNLOCK DRIVE: Return: CF set onerror -> Missing space. Should be "on error".
11. Table 00278 (Phoenix EDD Spec): Note: Device Paramter Table Extension -> Misspelling. Should be "Parameter".

[TYPO]

Section INT 14 - PhysTechSoft PTS ROM-DOS - SET PACKET: Note 12: follow the same proceduce as for requesting -> Misspelling. Should be "procedure".

Section INT 14 - PhysTechSoft PTS ROM-DOS - SET PACKET: Note 14: Debug information is send after reaching -> Grammar. Should be "sent".

Section INT 14 - Connection Manager - RECEIVE CHARACTER BLOCK: BL=nonzero description: if no data avaiable -> Misspelling. Should be "available".

Section INT 14 - FOSSIL - ENABLE/DISABLE FLOW CONTROL: Table 00340, bit 4-7: all 1 -> For consistency with bitfield notation, should be "all 1s" or "all set".

Table 00330 (Packet timer...): Offset 02h: representing 20ms -> Missing space. Should be "20 ms".

Section INT 13 - UNCHAIN - INSTALLATION CHECK: Program note: TSR by Colin Buckley which permits use of -> Missing "the". Should be "permits the use of".

[TECH]
7. Table 00297 / 00298 / 00299 (XBIOS / Ontrack): Descriptions use Ontrackr_Ref_Data and Ontrackr_VxD_Data.

• Analysis: The company name is Ontrack. The trailing "r" in "Ontrackr" appears to be a systemic typo in these labels.
• Correction: Should likely be "Ontrack_Ref_Data" and "Ontrack_VxD_Data".

8. Section INT 14 - MBBIOS PACCOM support - SET PERSISTENCE (AH=0Eh) and SET SLOT TIME (AH=0Fh): Both descriptions say: specify the time from end of DCD to RTS.

• Logic Check: These are two different functions. While related to the same timing window, "Slot Time" and "Persistence" usually have distinct technical definitions in CSMA protocols. One of these descriptions is likely a copy-paste error from the other.

9. Table 00318 (Line speed subvector): bits 1-7: 1800, 1200, ..., 115200, 150, 110 bps. The value 115200 is out of sequence and extremely high for a bit in that range. Verify if it should be 134.5 (a common old baud rate) or if the position is correct.

[HEX]
10. Table 00299 (Ontrackr_VxD_Data): Offset 09h: Base port address (1F0/170). Missing hex suffixes. Standard PC AT ports are 1F0h/170h.
11. Section INT 14 - PhysTechSoft PTS ROM-DOS - SET PACKET: Note 10: vendors can add DevChks above 0x80. Violation of Protocol 4.2. Should be 80h.

[FORMAT]
12. Section INT 13 - EZ-Drive - INSTALLATION CHECK: Return BX: AERMH13Vxx -> Some versions of RBIL use a space between the string and the version placeholder. Ensure consistency.
13. Section INT 13 - PC Tools v8+ VSAFE...: Note 1: identical to the ones on INT 16/AH=FAh. "ones" is slightly informal; "those" would be preferred, but acceptable.

[QUARANTINE]
14. Section INT 13 - VIRUS - "Neuroquila": Return: CF ??? if installed. The status of the carry flag for this specific virus check is unconfirmed.

[TECH]
7. Table 04119 (LIR keyboard layout flags): Bit(s) 7-5: 100 QWERTY, 010 Lithuanian AZERTY, 001 Lithuanian ergonomic FZVPUJ. -> Missing binary suffix. Should be 100b, 010b, 001b.
8. Table 00358 (state flag): Header: Bitfields for state flag :. There is an incorrect space before the colon.
9. Section INT 14 - MBBIOS PACCOM support - SET TXD: Description: time from RTS to start or packet. This likely contains a technical typo; should probably be "start of packet".
10. Table 00347 (HUNTER 16 comms parameters): Offset 0Ah: Serig. -> Unclear abbreviation. If it refers to "Serial ignore", it should be clarified or flagged. (Marked as Quarantine).

[HEX]
11. Table 00177 (Chips&Technologies video memory size): 256KB, 512KB. Standardize to KB or KiB as per project guidelines.
12. Table 00357 (COMM-DRV error code): Entry 2Fh: hardware memory > 64K. Standardize to 64KB.

[FORMAT]
13. Table 00338 (MBBIOS PACCOM buffer): Offset 00h: 504 BYTEs. Standardize to hex for consistency: 01F8h BYTEs or keep decimal but ensure consistency with other buffer descriptions.
14. Table 00367 (COMM-DRV port control block): Offset 00h: port IO address. Standardize to port I/O address.

[QUARANTINE]
15. Table 04119 / 04120: Entries like Lithuanian keyboard??? and Russian keyboard???. The triple question marks indicate unconfirmed legacy data in the original source that requires verification for Release 62.

Table 00405 (Amstrad NVRAM): Note 1: last used/updated by the clock chip. (Consistency check: "zerod" was found in part 8/9, but in this specific table it appears as last used).

Credits/Addresses Section:

    Jan OberlΣnder -> Encoding Artifact. Σ is Mojibake for "ä". Should be "Oberländer".

    Dudßs J≤zsef -> Encoding Artifact. ß and ≤ are Mojibake for Hungarian accents. Should be "Dudás József".

Section INT 14 - MX5 Extended FOSSIL - GET/SET MNP CONNECT SOUND LEVEL: Desc: Debug information is send after reaching -> Grammar. Should be "sent".

[TECH]
6. Table 04119 (LIR keyboard layout flags): Bit(s) 7-5: 100 QWERTY, 010 Lithuanian AZERTY, 001 Lithuanian ergonomic FZVPUJ. -> Missing binary suffix. Should be 100b, 010b, 001b.

8. Section INT 10 - VIDEO - Realtek RTVGA - RETURN CHIP VERSION: Return AL: 01h RTG31030/RTG3105.

• Technical Analysis: "RTG31030" is likely a typo for "RTG3103" or "RTG3103-0".

9. Table 00181 (Chips&Technologies display mode): Bit(s) 1-0: scanlines (00 = 200, 01 = 350, 10 = 400). -> Missing binary suffix. Should be 00b, 01b, 10b.
10. Table 00184 (C&T F65520/525/530 status): Bit(s) 15-0: reserved. -> Logic Error. This range covers the whole WORD. It should likely be 15-7 or 15-8 (as bits 6-1 are defined below).
11. Section INT 15 - VMiX - "sys_chanreq": Description: window make window at cursor position. Method "vio": SRCSINK -> Ensure this acronym is defined in GLOSSARY.LST or consistent with VMiX nomenclature.

[HEX]
12. Section INT 14 - FOSSIL - INITIALIZE: AH=00h parameters: 000 19200 bd, 001 38400 bd. -> Missing binary suffix. Should be 000b, 001b.

Table 00411 (ABIOS Initialization Table): Offset 10h/11h: ABIOS ver supports -> Abbreviation. Should be "version" for a master release consistency.

[TECH]
5. Section INT 15 - VMiX - "sys_getqueue" (AH=09h): Stack: (0 = process queue, 1 = object, 3 = type).

• Analysis: The ID 2 is skipped in the sequence. Verify if this is an intentional gap in VMiX or a missing documentation entry.

6. Table 00412 (ABIOS device ID):

• Analysis: IDs 0Ch, 0Dh and 11h through 15h are missing from the list. Flagged for verification if these are unassigned or missing from this RBIL version.

7. Section INT 15 - VMiX - "sys_virtual" (AH=10h): Return: AX = function's return value???. The triple question marks indicate unconfirmed behavior. (Marked as Quarantine).

[HEX]
8. Section INT 15 - SYSTEM - BUILD ABIOS INITIALIZATION TABLE (AH=05h): ES:DI description: length 18h * Number_of_Entries. Protocol 4.2 recommends spaces around operators for clarity: 18h * Number_of_Entries.
