       Notes:         The XT dated 1/10/86 has a bug in its Feature
                      Information. It incorrectly states that the second
                      interrupt chip is present (bit 6 is set) and that
                      the fixed disk BIOS doesn't use DMA channel 3 (bit 7
                      is clear). Both of these are incorrect. To test for
                      this condition, if the model number is FBh and the
                      BIOS level is 1, then ASSUME that the Fixed disk
                      BIOS does use DMA channel 3 and the second interrupt
                      chip is not present.
 
                      Programs using the DMA channel 3 presence must also
                      be aware that other adapters may be using this
                      channel, such as the IBM Network Adapter, which will
                      not be reflected in the Feature Information byte.
 
                      See INT 15h, Service 4Fh, for more information on
                      Keyboard intercept (bit 4 of the Feature Information
                      byte) and see INT 09h for more information of the
                      hardware keyboard interrupt.
 
                      See INT 15h, Service 41h, for more information on
                      the Wait for External Event (bit 3 of the Feature
                      Information byte).
