While control is inside the different bus routines, additional checkpoints are output to I/O port address 0080h as word to identify the routines being executed.
These are word checkpoints. The low byte of checkpoint is the system BIOS checkpoint where control is passed to the different bus routines.
The high byte of checkpoint indicates that the routine is being executed in different buses. This information will not be shown on POST code display because this device is
