Before you spend your money, take a look at the interrupt call listing
available by anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20.ARPA as PD:INTERRUP.ARC
It may be all that you need.
The list is the most complete single listing available anywhere, if I do say
so myself (I'm the maintainer). I'm still looking for PS/2 BIOS calls other
than the video calls, if anyone would like to contribute and get his/her
name enshrined in the list....
