May I interrupt your conversation to give my opinion on this? ;-)
Yes, INT 13h is very easy to use when you want to read/write sectors from a
disk or HD. But,... INT 13h is slow, and with INT 13h, you can not read
non-standard formats. So, if you want to get the maximum out of your
hard-disk or floppy-controller it is sometimes necessary to call the floppy
or hard-disk controller directly.
Have a nice day, Ian.       - Jan Wagemakers -
.!. Format your disks with 2M. Copy them with dKopie.
