     This service is used by BIOS during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If
     errors occur, they are recorded in the POST log. The Power-On Self Test
     is concerned with hardware; there is little of value to the applications
     programmer in this service.

     If you want to read the POST log, use Subservice 00h. On return,
     ES:DI will point to the error log, which contains two-byte POST error
     codes.

     To place error codes in the POST log (only BIOS should do this), use
     Subservice 01h. Place the 16-bit error in BX (BH = device code, BL
     = device error). If the carry flag is not set on return, the error has
     been stored in the log.
