    This service provides a consistent interface to the Programmable
    Option Select of the Micro Channel (MCA) in PS/2 models 50, 60,
    70, and 80.

    It is a special feature of the Micro Channel that you can now set
    in software information that required dip switches before. For
    example, you can enable or disable options in MCA slots. This
    service allows you to take advantage of this new capability.
