INT 25 - DOS 3.31+ - ABSOLUTE DISK READ (>32M hard-disk partition)
        AL = drive number (0=A, 1=B, etc)
        CX = FFFFh
        DS:BX -> disk read packet (see below)
Return: same as above
Notes:  partition is potentially >32M (and requires this form of the call) if
          bit 1 of device attribute word in device driver is set
        original flags are left on stack, and must be removed by caller
        this call bypasses the DOS filesystem
