INT 13 - FIXED DISK - FORMAT TRACK
        AH = 05h
        AL = interleave value (XT-type controllers only)
        ES:BX -> 512-byte format buffer
                the first 2*(sectors/track) bytes contain F,N for each sector
                   F = 00h for good sector, 80h for bad sector
                   N = sector number
        CH = cylinder number (bits 8,9 in high bits of CL)
        CL = high bits of cylinder number (bits 7,6)
        DH = head
        DL = drive
Return: AH = status code (see AH=01h)
Notes:  AWARD AT BIOS extended to handle more than 1024 cylinders by placing
          bits 10 and 11 of the cylinder number into bits 6 and 7 of DH
        for XT-type controllers on an AT or higher, AH=0Fh should be called
          first
