Category: BIOS
INT 1A - TIME - GET REAL-TIME CLOCK TIME (AT,XT286,PS)
AH = 02h
CF clear to avoid bug (see below)
Return: CF clear if successful
CH = hour (BCD)
CL = minutes (BCD)
DH = seconds (BCD)
DL = daylight savings flag (00h standard time, 01h daylight time)
CF set on error (i.e. clock not running or in middle of update)
Notes: this function is also supported by the Sperry PC, which predates the
IBM AT; the data is returned in binary rather than BCD on the Sperry,
and DL is always 00h
MS-DOS/PC DOS IO.SYS/IBMBIO.COM use this function to detect if a RTC
is preset by checking if the returned values are non-zero. If they
are, this function is called one more time, before it is assumed
that no RTC is present.
BUG: some BIOSes leave CF unchanged if successful, so CF should be cleared
before calling this function
