INT 13,C - Seek to Cylinder (XT & newer)
AH = 0C CH = low order byte of cylinder number (see below) CL = high order byte of cylinder number (see below) DH = head number (0-15) DL = fixed drive number (80h=drive 0, 81h=drive 1) on return: AH = status (see INT 13,STATUS) CF = 0 if successful = 1 if error - many good programming references indicate this function is only available on the AT, PS/2 and later systems, but all hard disk systems since the XT have this function available - notice that CX is in reverse byte format similar to the way data is stored in memory and reverse of normal register storage - only the disk number is checked for validity - the parameters in CX change depending on the number of cylinders; the track/cylinder number is a 10 bit value taken from the 2 high order bits of CL and the 8 bits in CH (low order 8 bits of track): │F│E│D│C│B│A│9│8│7│6│5-0│ CX │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───── unused │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┴─────── high order 2 bits of track number └─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴────────── low order 8 bits of track number
