bit 7: EPP port interrupts enabled
AH = 00h
CF = clear

00h - enable parallel port interrupts
01h - disable parallel port interrupts
Return:
AH = status (00h,05h,06h) (see also #00634)
04h

Return:
AH = 00h if successful
AL = destroyed
05h
Perform Address-Write/Device-Select I/O cycle
Data:
AX = device address
Return:
AH = status
AL = destroyed
06h
Perform Address-Read I/O cycle
Return:

AL = byte read from parallel port
0Ah
Read Block of Data
Data:
ES:DI

buffer for received data
CX = number of bytes to read from paralle port
Return:
AH = status (see #00634)
ES:DI = buffer filled if successful
CX = number of bytes not transferred
0Bh
Address/Byte-Read
Data:
AL = device address
Return:
AH = status (see #00634)
AL = byte read if successful
0Ch
Address/Byte-Write
Data:
AL = device address
DH = data byte (v1.0,v3.0)
CL = data byte (Revision 7)
Return:
AH = AH = status (see #00634)
0Dh
Address/Block-Read
Data:
AL = device address
ES:DI buffer for received data
CX = number of bytes to read
Return:
AH = status (see #00634)

DS:SI data to be send (Revision 7)
CX = number of bytes to write
Return:
AH = status (see #00634)
CX = number of bytes NOT transferred
0Fh
Lock Port
Data:
AL = multiplexor port number
bits 7 - 4 : daisy chain port number (1-8)
bits 3 - 0 : mux device port number (1-8, 0 if no mux)
Return:
AH = status (00h,03h,05h) (see #00634)

Unlock Port
Data:
AL = multiplexor port number
bits 7 - 4 : daisy chain port number (1-8)
bits 3 - 0 : mux device port number (1-8, 0 if no mux)
Return:
AH = status (00h,03h,05h) (see #00634)

Device Interrupt
Data:
BL = multiplexor port number 00h if no multiplexor, else mux device port (01h-08h)

Note: AMI BIOS v1.00.12.AX1T ignores the multiplexor port number; it also always sets INT 0F to the address specified in ES:DI.
