I read the docs with dmc and noticed that the EBX register is reserved (at

only...or that it can manually be manipulated by me? Just a confusion that I
hoped to clear up =)

I'm not sure what you mean. You can use EBX like any other register, but the
calling convention requires that it be saved/restored.
