Neo, you have to let us know what data you want so we can help you. There isn't a generic getBiosData function.

[Danesh]

However it is almost unusual to read or write data directly to BIOS, but I think it can be done by reading (with  IN instruction) and writing (with OUT instruction) from/to a specified port.

[pbrennick]

Of course, that method will not work with newer versions of Windows like XP, for example.  It will not allow you to access the ports directly (how many times must we say this?).

I think you can do this:

Code Select Expand


theBiosFile db "BiosSpecification.txt"
Invoke CreateFile, Addr theBiosFile, GENERIC_READ, NULL, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE
Invoke ReadFile, eax, Addr mmm, ecx, NULL, NULL
.
