Checkpoint

Code Description

4Bh

The amount of memory above 1 MB has been found and verified. Checking

 

for a soft reset and clearing the memory below 1 MB for the

 

soft reset next. If this is a power on situation, going to checkpoint 4Eh next.

4Ch

The memory below 1 MB has been cleared via a soft reset. Clearing

 

the memory above 1 MB next.

4Dh

The memory above 1 MB has been cleared via a soft reset. Saving the

 

memory size next. Going to checkpoint 52h next.

4Eh

The memory test started, but not as the result of a soft reset.

 

Displaying the first 64 KB memory size next.

4Fh

The memory size display has started. The display is updated during

 

the memory test. Performing the sequential and random memory test

 

next.

 

50h

The memory below 1 MB has been tested and initialized. Adjusting

 

the displayed memory size for relocation and shadowing next.

51h

The memory size display was adjusted for relocation and shadowing.

 

Testing the memory above 1 MB next.

52h

The memory above 1 MB has been tested and initialized. Saving

 

the memory size information next.

53h

The memory size information and the CPU registers are saved.

 

Entering real mode next.

54h

Shutdown was successful. The CPU is in real mode. Disabling the

 

Gate A20 line, parity, and the NMI next.

57h

The A20 address line, parity, and the NMI are disabled. Adjusting

 

the memory size depending on relocation and shadowing next.

58h

The memory size was adjusted for relocation and shadowing.

 

Clearing the Hit <DEL> message next.

59h

The Hit <DEL> message is cleared. The <WAIT...> message is

 

displayed. Starting the DMA and interrupt controller test next.
