Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is any ASM code to save the old pic settings, so that i can restore the old settings if i need to .

If possible not in c as i am not too good with c . ::)


Thanks in advance.

Thanks Bubach,

But what i need to know is how to save the original settings, as my OS can be booted from DOS i have trouble when returning to DOS if i remap the pic's.
I know that it is because of remaping the pic's because if i do not remap them it exit's to DOS fine.

Thanks

I can swear that I read about that when I was about to remap the PICs, but now I can't seem to find anything.. :-\

DOS has IRQ0 at 0x8 and IRQ8 at 0x70 (or 0x78) iirc. So just restore that setting

you can also want to store the initial PIC mask in a variable that you'll restore later ...

You know, this would be great for the wiki! Somebody might have the same problem.
