Hi!!!

I've wrote an OS and now I need some help from you!
How can I write a "Standby mode"? Yes, I know, that I must do something with the BIOS...
But I don't know what!
I hope that you can help me.

Hi,
You can turn off the hard drive motor and turn
off the monitor to conserve energy, if that's
what you mean:

Also, look at APM (Advanced Power Management);
INT 15h AH=53h AL=??h
This is in file INTERRUP.C of Ralf Brown's list.
I haven't used APM, so I don't know much about it
yet.
