You can access harddisk sectors inside a partition using #4010, just like
floppies.
If you want to access sectors regardless of partitions (like the partition
table or master boot record), you'll need routines specific for the interface.
I think there was some info on this list when FAT16 was first discussed.
Try to search the archives.
Info about the IDE interface can probably be provided by Jon (who also
reads this list).
But why do you want direct access to a hard disk anyway? Only thing I can
think of is FDD emulation, in that case you can best use #4010.
