Challenge accepted (even though you didn't say it's Int 13h).  I found
this info in "The Undocumented PC", 2nd edition, by Frank van Gilluwe
(Addison-Wesley, 1996), p.594.  Another proof (if you need one) that MSDN 
is not that unique after all.

Btw, I find that book an invaluable source of low-level PC
information.
