Can't remember what I thought back then. Judging from today I'd say it wasn't generic enough. Isn't it necessary to fully disable the PIC when the APIC is enabled? In DOS that can only be done with the help of a v86 monitor program, which was surely not done back then. So it probably was just a hack, working for a specific purpose only...
