    This service gives you quick access to the extended BIOS data area
    used in the PS/2. If the carry flag is set on return, the extended
    BIOS data area is not being used. If the carry flag is not set,
    the segment address of the extended data area is in ES.

    The ROM BIOS uses the extended data area as a storage area for
    transient data. For example, the addresses of device drivers are
    stored here.
