Added Interrupt 15 Functions
F.1 Introduction
This section describes the interrupt 15h functions that have been added to
the TM5000 BIOS.  Only added functions are described in this specification.
All standard BIOS calls are described in the PhoenixBIOS Customer Docu-
mentation manual.
F.2   Function 46h - Subfunction 00h 
Read Power/Modem Configuration
This function returns information on the current state of the power system
and the modem.  This function is duplicated at Function 46h - Subfunction...

AL = Power Conservation Configuration
76543210
Power Source (0 = Internal, 1 = External)
Battery State (00 = Good, 01 = Low State 1,
    10 = Reserved, 11 = Low State 2)
Power Conservation Mode (00 = Auto, 01 = On,
    10 = Off, 11 = Reserved)
Reserved
BH = Default system inactivity timeout (minutes)
BL = Current system inactivity timeout (minutes)
CH = Default video inactivity timeout (minutes)
CL = Current video inactivity timeout (minutes)
DH = Default fixed disk inactivity timeout (minutes)
DL =...

Returns:
AH = Error Code
00h = No Error
01h = Invalid Parameter
02h = No Modem
BL = System inactivity timeout (in minutes)
CL = Video inactivity timeout (in minutes)
DH = Modem State
00h = Turned modem Off
01h = Turned modem On
FFh = Didn’t modify state
DL = Fixed Disk inactivity timeout (in minutes)
CY = Set on Error (see AH)
F.4 Function 46h - Subfunction 03h
Get/Set Battery Status
Gets and sets various information about the battery.  This function is fully
implemented by BatteryPro.  The BIOS always...

Returns:
AH = 00h
AL = Current CPU Speed
00h = Low
01h = High
02h = Medium
BL = Current Auto Setting
00h = Off.
01h = On
F.6   Function F8h - Set CPU Speed
This function sets the CPU speed to low, medium, or high.  Also, see related
function F7h.
For notebook computers configured with a i486DX2 CPU, this function will
not perform a speed switch if the notebook is currently running with pro-
tected mode active or emm386.exe active.  The function will return an error
condition (86h and CY set).
