I think I remember a discussion about this a while ago, but don't
remember the outcome.

I believe it's necessary to save (some) registers around BIOS and XBIOS
traps.  The question for today is: which ones?  Is there any rhyme or
reason to which registers get trashed inside the trap?

A related question; am I correct in assuming that GEMDOS traps don't
require register saving?

Thanks in advance for any info.
