Code that was here got INT 9 vector and put it in old_int.  It then set
the INT 9 vector to point to new_int.

Everything looks fine except that the last jump (jmp [old_int]) has two
problems.  First the jump must include a segment override so that the
data segment (ds) is not used in calculating the address of old_int.
Second you must insure that it is a far jump.  Thus the line should read:

   jmp far cs:[old_int]

If you still can't get it to work, email me and I will send you a sample
of how to attach to INT 9.
