Use the floating point instructions to determine if a coprocessor exists instead of the ET bit in CR0. Disable onboard COM and LPT ports before testing for presence of external I/O devices. Run late device initialization routines. Test and identify RS232 ports. Configure Fisk Disk Controller. Test and identify parallel ports. Display any ESCD read errors and configure all PnP ISA devices. Initialize onboard I/O and BDA according to CMOS and presence of external devices. Initialize motherboard configurable devices. Initialize interrupt controller. Enable NMI. Initialize Extended BIOS Data Area and initialize the mouse. Setup interrupt vector and present bit in Equipment byte. Initialize both of the floppy disks and display an error message if failure was detected. Check both drives to establish the appropriate diskette types in the BIOS data area. Count the number of ATA drives in the system and update the number in bdaFdiskcount.
