; Synopsis: int getsec(drive,numsec,begsec,buffer)
|
|
; unsigned int drive; /* 0=A, 1=B, etc. */
|
|
; unsigned int numsec; /* Number of sectors to read */
|
|
; unsigned int begsec; /* Beginning logical sector */
|
|
; char *buffer; /* Transfer address */
|
|
;
|
|
; Function: The number of sectors specified are transferred
|
|
; between the given drive and the transfer address.
|
|
; LOGICAL SECTOR NUMBERS are obtained by numbering
|
|
; each sector sequentially starting from track 0, head 0,
|
|
; sector 1 (logical sector 0) and continuing along the
|
|
; same head, then to the next head until the last sector
|
|
; on the last head of the track is counted. Thus,
|
|
; logical sector 1 is track 0, head 0, sector 2,
|
|
; logical sector 2 is track 0, head 0, sector 3, & so on.
|
|
;
|
|
; Returns: NULL if the operation is successful.
|
|
; otherwise, error codes are as follows:
|
|
;
|
|
; hex 80 Attachment failed to respond.
|
|
; hex 40 SEEK operation failed.
|
|
; hex 20 Controller failure.
|
|
; hex 10 Bad CRC on diskette read.
|
|
; hex 08 DMA overrun on operation.
|
|
; hex 04 Requested sector not found.
|
|
; hex 03 Write attempt on write-protected diskette.
|
|
; hex 02 Address mark not found.
|
|
; hex FF Unspecified (error other than those above).
