INT 21 - TAME v2.10 - INSTALLATION CHECK
        AX = 2B01h
        CX = 5441h ('TA')
        DX = 4D45h ('ME')
Return: AL = 02h if installed
        ES:DX -> data area in TAME-RES (see below)
Note:   TAME is a shareware program by David G. Thomas which gives up CPU time
          to other partitions under a multitasker when the current partition's
          program incessantly polls the keyboard or system time
