Use
The purpose of this call is to provide an interface that allows the full capacity of a machines NVRAM (aka CMOS RAM) to be accessed. Other calls (OS_Byte 161, OS_Byte 162) are limited in that they only provide access to the first 240 bytes of NVRAM.
Notes
The action performed depends on the reason code value in R0.
