This service is available only for the PC Convertible. Previous
machines will report unpredictable results (including the state of
the Carry Flag). ATs, XT-286s, and the PS/2 family will set the
Carry Flag, thus reporting an error state.

All dates are in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD). For example, June 1,
1985 will be set as CX = 1985; DX = 0601.

The real-time clock is the clock that runs even when the computer
is turned off. A CMOS battery is used so that, even while the
computer is off, the date, time, and alarm time are maintained.

After this service is executed, the machine will automatically
power on as soon as the hour, minute, and second specified match
the time on the real-time clock date. If the system is already on,
then Int 4Ah (User Alarm) will be executed.

If the system is on, the alarm interrupt (Int 4Ah) will continue
to occur every 24 hours at the specified time until it is reset
via Service 07h (Reset Real-Time Clock Alarm). Only one alarm time
can be active at a time.
