; INT $15 / AH=$87 - SYSTEM - COPY EXTENDED MEMORY
; CX = number of words to copy (max $8000)
; ES:SI -> GDCT global descriptor table, bloat = $30 = #48 BYTE's
; Return: CF set on error | CF clear if successful | AH = status
; Notes: - Copy is done in protected mode with interrupts disabled by the
; default BIOS handler; many "386" memory managers perform the
; copy with interrupts enabled
; - Some EMM386 have a strange "NOCHECK" switch disabling access
; to PCI MMIO, only RAM (+ ROM and ISA MMIO) will work then
; Errors: $00 source copied into destination
; $01 parity error
; $02 interrupt error
; $03 address line 20 gating failed
; $80 invalid command (PC, PCJR) or limit violation (JAM386)
; $86 unsupported function (XT, PS30)
; $00 16 BYTE's zeros (used by BIOS)
; $10 WORD source segment limit in bytes (2*CX-1 or greater or $FFFF)
; $12 3 BYTE's 24-bit "seg*16+off" or physical source addr, low byte first

AFAIK this hasn't been done in FASM yet
