Most likely, there is a BIOS data area that is inaccessible to the
BIOS code that gets invoked as a result of the interrupt, since
most of the control stuff is implemented as BIOS traps, especially
for the cheap-o processors, but also because you have to make the
BIOS match the hardware implementation, and those vary widely.
