BIOS - SET EVENT WAIT INTERVAL (AT,PS50+)

AH = 83h
AL = subfunction
00h set interval
CX:DX = microseconds to delay
ES:BX -> byte whose high bit is to be set at end of interval
01h cancel wait interval

Return:
CF set on error or function already busy AH = status 80h invalid command (PC,PCjr) 86h function not supported (XT and later) CF clear if successful

Notes: The resolution of the wait period is 977 microseconds on many systems because many BIOSes use the 1/1024 second fast interrupt from the AT real-time clock chip which is available on INT 70. IBM AT 1984/1/10 BIOS ignores AL and always performs subfunction 00h
