Why do you want to use int = 13h? It's a stone aged service from a time, when there was the simply "OS" n= amed DOS which was "layered" on BIOS. But NOW everybody should avoid using B= IOS or such. IMHO. Of course every system has got its own method you should= use, like on UNIX you should use the UNIX way. Use BIOS if you write a DOS application. But according your mail, you want to PORT a something, so = you should use the schemantic of the target system, and not overhacked solu= tion just for creating a very ugly, unstable and unmaintainable soluton. IMH= O again. Hope, my oppionion helped and you don't treat my mail as a flame starte= r one ... - G=E1bor On Wed, Mar 10, 2004 at 09:51:58PM -0800, Jason Dictos wrote: > Hello, > =20 > I have some code to port from an MSDOS based application who's mai= n goal > was to write partition data to a bios addressable disk.
