INT 13 - FLOPPY - FORMAT TRACK
AH = 05h
AL = number of sectors to format
CH = track number
DH = head number
DL = drive number
ES:BX -> address field buffer (see #00235)
Return: CF set on error
CF clear if successful
AH = status (see #00234)
Notes: on AT or higher, call AH=17h first
the number of sectors per track is read from the diskette parameter
table pointed at by INT 1E
BUG: some old Compaq BIOSes have a bug when attempting to call this function
from Windows Standard Mode with EMM386 loaded. A possible workaround
is to call this function from Real Mode e.g. through DPMI function
"Call Real Mode function with FAR return" (see INT 31/AX=0301h).
