                      the disk.

                      The cylinder number is a ten-bit quantity (0 through
                      1023). Its most significant two bits are in bits 7
                      and 6 of CL; the remaining eight bits are in CH.

                      If an error is encountered, use Service 0h to reset
                      the drive and retry the operation.
