Hello.
I want to use the A20 address line using this [1] BIOS function.
But I whether know what a keyboard controller's "secure mode" is,
nor how to disable it...
I've been looking for an implementation of this function or some
documentation about it, but I couldn't find any.
So, can you please explain what this "secure mode" is and how to
disable it, or give me a good hint?
Thanks,
Jan
