AH = 25h DL = drive number (80h,81h) ES:BX-> 512 byte buffer for reply packet
Return:
CF clear if successful CF set on error AH = status (see #00234 at AH=01h) buffer filled with ATA/IDE-style drive information block (see #00267)
Desc: Retrieves the 256 words of drive data stored on an IDE hard disk
Notes: The byte at address 0040h:0074h is set to the status of the operation. IBM officially classifies this function as optional
