INT 15 - SYSTEM - GET EXTENDED MEMORY SIZE (286+) AH = 88h Return: CF clear if successful AX = number of contiguous KB starting at absolute address 100000h CF set on error AH = status 80h invalid command (PC,PCjr) 86h unsupported function (XT,PS30) Notes: TSRs which wish to allocate extended memory to themselves often hook this call, and return a reduced memory size. They are then free to use the memory between the new and old sizes at will. the standard BIOS only returns memory between 1MB and 16MB; use AH=C7h for memory beyond 16MB not all BIOSes correctly return the carry flag, making this call unreliable unless one first checks whether it is supported through a mechanism other than calling the function and testing CF SeeAlso: AH=87h,AH=C7h .
