I have Turbo Pascal for dos. I would like to write a simple
Suspend/Resume program that would read the contents of the ram and write
them to the hard drive. Then to resume the computer, it would read the
file and load the memory with what was saved.

I need some help as I don't know a whole lot about this kind of thing. I
might be leaving something out (do CPU registers need to be saved? Bytes
stored in Port Addresses?)

Thanks!

Please Email me!

Hmm...  It seems like a hard task. If you want to save the state of the
computer and be able to continue another day, you will have to save
everything, including CPU-regs. Be careful you might alter them trying to
read them.

Another solution is the Action Replay by Datel Electronics. It is an
ISA-Card that among other things does
exactly what you are descriping. It has ram and rom on card, and hence is
able to interrupt the PC completely.
