Before you spend your money, take a look at the interrupt call listing
available by anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20.ARPA as PD:<MSDOS.SYSUTL>INTERRUP.ARC
It may be all that you need.

The list is the most complete single listing available anywhere, if I do say 
so myself (I'm the maintainer).  I'm still looking for PS/2 BIOS calls other
than the video calls, if anyone would like to contribute and get his/her
name enshrined in the list....
