X-Hacker.org- Ralf Brown's Interrupt List (Part 1,2) - int 13 - fixed disk - format drive starting at given track (xt,port)
[<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
INT 13 - FIXED DISK - FORMAT DRIVE STARTING AT GIVEN TRACK (XT,PORT)
AH = 07h
AL = interleave value (XT only)
ES:BX = 512-byte format buffer (see AH=05h)
CH = cylinder number (bits 8,9 in high bits of CL)
CL = sector number
DH = head
DL = drive
Return: AH = status code (see AH=01h)
Note: AWARD AT BIOS extended to handle more than 1024 cylinders by placing
bits 10 and 11 of the cylinder number into bits 6 and 7 of DH
apparently, the AMI BIOS also follows this convention
