INT 13 - DISK - GET DRIVE PARAMETERS (PC,XT286,CONV,PS,ESDI,SCSI) AH = 08h DL = drive (bit 7 set for hard disk) Return: CF set on error AH = status (07h) (see AH=01h) CF clear if successful AH = 00h BL = drive type (AT/PS2 floppies only) (see below) CH = low eight bits of maximum cylinder number CL = maximum sector number (bits 5-0) high two bits of maximum cylinder number (bits 7-6) DH = maximum head number DL = number of drives ES:DI -> drive parameter table (floppies only) Notes: may return successful even though specified drive is greater than the number of attached drives of that type (floppy/hard); check DL to ensure validity for systems predating the IBM AT, this call is only valid for hard disks, as it is implemented by the hard disk BIOS rather than the ROM BIOS Toshiba laptops with HardRAM return DL=02h when called with DL=80h, but fail on DL=81h. The BIOS data at 40h:75h correctly reports 01h. SeeAlso: AH=06h"Adaptec",AH=15h,INT 1E,INT 41 Values for drive type: 01h 360K 02h 1.2M 03h 720K 04h 1.44M 05h ??? (reportedly an obscure drive type shipped on some IBM machines) 2.88M on some machines (at least AMI 486 BIOS) 06h 2.88M .
