- Can anyone tell me how to read in the BIOS boot sector paramter from a floppy
- disk and how to access the value of it in C? I am having loads of trouble,
- getting spurious data, or hang-ups!
-
- Also, I have written a formatter which uses interleaving (factor 11) but
- when i use Quikdex I get a performance drop to 48% from the usual 97%!!!
- Any idea what I am doing wrong?
-
- Thanks in advance on both probs.
