<h1><a name="kap_interrupt_2850"></a>Control Block Format (DOS
4.x):</h1>
<p> % Offset Size Description</p>
<p> 00 dword starting sector</p>
<p> 04 word number of sectors to read</p>
<p> 06 dword pointer to buffer</p>
<p> - reads disk sectors into buffer at DS:BX or DS:[BX+6]</p>
<p> - after calling this interrupt the flags register remains on
the</p>
<p> stack and must be popped manually</p>
<p> - sectors are logical sectors starting at the beginning of a</p>
<p> logical disk; each DOS partition on a drive unit is
considered</p>
<p> one logical drive and has it's own logical sector numbers
with</p>
<p> track 0 starting at the first track in the partition</p>
<p> - this function uses logical drives, and is susceptible to
ASSIGN</p>
<p> - physical sector numbers can be converted to and from DOS
sector</p>
<p> numbers with the following formulas:</p>
<p> dos_sector = (sector - 1) + (head * sectors_per_track) +</p>
<p> (track * sectors_per_track * num_heads)</p>
<p> physical_sector = 1 + (dos_sector MOD sectors_per_track)</p>
<p> physical_head = (dos_sector / sectors_per_track) MOD
num_heads</p>
<p> physical_track = dos_sector / (sectors_per_track * num_heads)</p>
