Actually it does not replace biosdisk cause biosdisk uses CHS addressing scheme while int 0x13/ah=0x42 uses LBA (which is better). It would be an extension, not a replacement. However I might indeed write such an extension. Any idea where I can find coding standarts for DJGPP development and where I have to mail to? Thanks in advance says Silver
