ATA Software Programming Interface (ATASPI) - INTERFACE

AX = 4402h
BX = file handle for device "$ATAMGR$"
CX = 0004h (size of buffer in bytes)
DS:DX -> buffer for result (see #90000), set to zeros before call

Return:
CF clear if successful AX = 0004h CF set on error AX = error code (01h,05h,06h,0Dh) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Notes: ATASPI is an API to control IDE, EIDE, and ATAPI devices, proposed by Future Domain; there's at least one driver in existence which

conforms to this specification:
ATASPI16.SYS by Future Domain. (see #90002) on the stack and the caller must clean up the stack. Future Domain ATASPI16.SYS v2.2 performs ATASPI calls using INT 4Fh interface instead of this INT 21/4402h interface and itself supports both interfaces

Format of ATASPI IOCTL result: Offset Size Description (Table 90000) 00h DWORD ATASPI entry point address

(Table 90001) Call ATASPI entry point with:.

STACK:
DWORD -> ATA Request Block (ARB) (see #90003)

Notes: Caller must clean up the stack. The large-model C declaration is void (*entry)(ARB_Struct *);

Note: If ATASPI ever returns 83h as the status, it is the responsibility of the driver/applications to re-send the request at a later time

STACK:
DWORD -> ARB (see #90003) which completed. Interrupts disabled

Return:
