        "An interrupt is requested with number <literal>0x1a</literal> and argument <literal>0</literal> in register <literal>%ah</literal>. The <acronym>BIOS</acronym> has a predefined set of services, requested by applications as software-generated interrupts through the <literal>int</literal> instruction and receiving arguments in registers (in this case, <literal>%ah</literal>). Here, particularly, we are requesting the number of clock ticks since last midnight; this value is computed by the <acronym>BIOS</acronym> through the <acronym>RTC</acronym> (Real Time Clock). This clock can be programmed to work at frequencies ranging from 2 Hz to 8192 Hz. The <acronym>BIOS</acronym> sets it to 18.2 Hz at startup. When the request is satisfied, a 32-bit result is returned by the <acronym>BIOS</acronym> in registers <literal>%cx</literal> and <literal>%dx</literal> (lower bytes in <literal>%dx</literal>). This result (the <literal>%dx</literal> part) is copied to register <literal>%di</literal>, and the value of the <varname>TICKS</varname> variable is added to <literal>%di</literal>. This variable resides in <filename>boot0</filename> at offset <literal>_TICKS</literal> (a negative value) from register <literal>%bp</literal> (which, recall, points to <literal>0x800</literal>). The default value of this variable is <literal>0xb6</literal> (182 in decimal). Now, the idea is that <filename>boot0</filename> constantly requests the time from the <acronym>BIOS</acronym>, and when the value returned in register <literal>%dx</literal> is greater than the value stored in <literal>%di</literal>, the time is up and the default selection will be made. Since the RTC ticks 18.2 times per second, this condition will be met after 10 seconds (this default behavior can be changed in the <filename>Makefile</filename>). Until this time has passed, <filename>boot0</filename> continually asks the <acronym>BIOS</acronym> for any user input; this is done through <literal>int 0x16</literal>, argument <literal>1</literal> in <literal>%ah</literal>."
