Whilst looking at the 3.61 isolinux.asm file I noticed that the code
uses a spec buffer size of 13h for the initial BIOS call with the
drive number passed in in DL. It then uses a spec buffer size of 13
when scanning drive numbers from FFh to 81h
Line 291 is
mov byte [spec_packet],13h
Lines 576 to 577 are
mov si,spec_packet
mov byte [si],13 ; Size of buffer
Is the use of 13 an error or is there some reason I don't understand ?
