In the case that you want to create own code and put in a RAM segment
(patching #F252 then) instead of modifying kernel, I propose the following:
Parameters for current sector I/O DOS functions (#2F and #30):
C = #2F or #30
DE = Sector number
L = Drive number
H = Number of sectors to read/write to/from DTA space
New parameters for same functions after patching:
C = #2F or #30
DE = Sector number, low part
B = Sector number, high part
L = Drive number
bit 7 of L = 0 --> Ignore B (for keep compatibility)
H = Number of sectors to read/write to/from DTA space
I won! X-)
