Thus, ;			logical sector 1 is track 0, head 0, sector 2,;			logical sector 2 is track 0, head 0, sector 3,  & so on.;;	Returns:	NULL if the operation is successful.;			otherwise, error codes are as follows:;;			hex 80	Attachment failed to respond.;			hex 40	SEEK operation failed.;			hex 20	Controller failure.;			hex 10  Bad CRC on diskette read.;			hex 08	DMA overrun on operation.;			hex 04	Requested sector not found.;			hex 03	Write attempt on write-protected diskette.;			hex 02	Address mark not found.;			hex FF	Unspecified (error other than those above).;code	segment	byte public		;segment registers remain intact	assume	cs:code			;all other registers will be destroyed	public	getsecgetsec: push	bp			;save old frame pointer	mov	bp,sp			;get new frame pointer	mov	ax,4[bp]		;put drive number into AL	xor	ah,ah	mov	cx,6[bp]		;number of sectors to fetch	mov	dx,8[bp]		;logical record number of 1st sector	mov     bx,10[bp]		;pointer to transfer address	int	25h			;BIOS call	jc	error			;error has occurred if carry flag = 1	mov	al,00H			;NULL to indicate sucessful completion	jmp	doneerror:	cmp	al,00H			;detect unspecified error code 00H	jne	done			;...change to 0FFh if found to 	mov	al,0FFH			;...differentiate it from success codedone:	xor	ah,ah			;return AL only	popf				;remove flags int 0x25 left on stack	pop	bp			;restore original frame pointer	ret				;all donecode	ends	end
