No

In that case, int 0x12 is correct. Its a one off bios function for getting the details of low memory.

For the other memory retreival fucntions, int 0x15 is used.

[EDIT]

O wait I see what you mean.

Yes - the code should use int 0x12 not int 0x16. Int 0x16 is for keyboard interration through the BIOS

Hello,

Yes that is an error, sorry about that :)

In revision 2 I may just remove those parts from the chapter completely sense they are unrelated to what the chapter discusses.
