subject: question about int 13h..

 KW> int 13h, function 8h returns the number of tracks and the number of
 KW> sectors per track in cx... it also seems to return something in ax which
 KW> my info doesn't make mention of but what seems to be just the number of
 KW> sectors per track all by itself...
 KW> i was wondering if that is what is actually happening or if it was just
 KW> a coincidence... i certainly wouldn't mind dropping the three bytes
 KW> needed for and cx, 3f if i could just get the number i want from ax...
if it's not documented, it's probably not portable, and another man's
bios probably won't support it.
if the interruptlist doesn't mention it, then it's not documented,
since that list describes everything known in the entire Universe and
maybe even farther. :+)
