Yep, i found it in Ralph Brown's interrupt list, good idea to get it
from there, it's only DOS4+ but i suppose older ones shouldn't be around 
now.

It's ok, i've made one just to test it, and i also found a copy in 
Snippets. It does bother me that said function has no critical error
checking though if the drive is not ready it just hangs the machine.
Of course i could've done something previously that left the machine in a 
bad state, but unlikely.
Who ever heard of playing with interrupts can crash a PC ? ;-)

Must be a way around that error checking, but i don't really want to 
install a harderr routine just for this function, i'm yet to look at
the one in Snips see if that does better.
