I want to know, if it is possible, where and how i can read time and date
set on a pc system, i know that the timer counter is at port 46cH but i
don't know how to decode the information it contains. I have to precise
that i can't use bios or dos since these routines are not reetrant and
need this in hardware interrupt routine. It will help a lot, thanks.
