Re: possible problems with INT13 I may be mistaken, but I have this feeling that DPMI servers (including MS Windows) react unkindly to people using INT13. This is certainly what the Borland Open Architecture handbook says. If your program is resident when such a server is running, it could throw up a General Protection fault. I will check into this myself... -- # Jon Saville | Who alive can say, 'Thou art no John Keats # ee92jks@brunel.ac.uk | Poet, may'st not tell thy dreams?' 1819 PGP 2.2 public key available upon request

The programs running on the system will not be using INT13. They will use the higher level interrupts that they normally use. The block driver exists below all of that and merely controls what happens once the higher level interrupts already call INT13. I don't think that it will be any problem, certainly less of a problem than if I tried to screw with higher level interrupts. -=Ryan=- the Bit Wallah
