CX 0FFFFh

DS:BX Packet address

DWORD sector number

Interrupt 25h Absolute Disk Read

Sample Code Ref PC Magazine Vol 9, No 20, Pg 498

This handy little program returns the status of any floppy disk drive as the

error level in a batch file.

DriveStat:

MOV AL,[5C] ;Get first char of command line

AND AL,5F ;Capitalize it

SUB AL,41 ;Set to 0 for A:, 1 for B:, etc

XOR CX,CX

INC CX ;Set CX to 0001 (Read one sector)

XOR DX,DX ;Set DX to 0000 (Start reading at sector zero)

MOV BX,BufAddr ;Set BC to Address of a fake buffer one sector long

INT 25 ;Call BIOSDiskReadAbs

MOV AH,4C ;Set AH to 4C (DOSTermProcWErrLvl)

INT 21 ;Call DOS
