I was hoping to see if I could rewrite the existing biosdisk library with the new int13h extensions (as of 1995). http://www.phoenix.com/NR/rdonlyres/9BEDED98-6B3F-4DAC-BBB7-FA89FA5C30F0/0/specsedd11.pdf contains a reference to these, which refer to LBA methods of accessing the disk as well as chs, but using subfunctions 41-4e, and there is an eject media check function in int 15h. similar documents exist. biosdisk.c contains code that is now out of date for modern sized disks. -- Jim Michaels for email, edit the address
