Hi!

> This is interrupt calls for using PCI devices.

Well you normally do not have to do anything special
to just USE them in DOS, but the interrupts help to
FIND and CONFIGURE them, in case they do not provide
compatibility to standard devices such as VGA :-)

You probably want to configure your disk controller
to use not AHCI, but some sort of classic SATA if
you want to use the UDVD driver or faster-than-BIOS
access to your harddisk or SSD with other drivers.

However, you do not need AHCI drivers in DOS at all
if you just want to access your harddisk or SSD, as
the BIOS already contains the drivers for that :-)

Also, you do not want to write a DOS driver for AC97
or HDA sound, because sound drivers are not part of
DOS: They are part of the games and very few games
let you replace their sound drivers with your own.

But you can use software like MPXPLAY to play media
files in DOS while using the HDA / AC97 sound driver
built into the software (MPXPLAY etc.) itself ;-)

Regards, Eric
