AH = 21h AL = number of sectors to write CH = low byte of 12-bit cylinder number CL = starting sector (bits 0-5) and bits 8-9 of cylinder (bits 6-7) DH = head number (bits 0-5) and bits 10-11 of cylinder (bits 6-7) DL = drive number (80h,81h) ES:BX -> buffer for data to be read
Return:
CF clear if successful ES:BX buffer filled CF set on error AH = status (see #00234 at AH=01h)
Desc: Read from the disk using the Multiple Block mode available on newer IDE drives and some hard disk controllers, which generates an interrupt only after the end of transferring a group of sectors rather than after each sector
Notes: Must call AH=24h"PS/1" before using this function. Input values in CL and DH are not range-checked. The byte at address 0040h:0074h is set to the status of the operation
