INT 13 - Compaq, ATAPI Removable Media Device - GET CURRENT MEDIA FORMAT {undocumentedInformation about a product which is not publicly available from the manufacturer, and must be determined by reverse-engineering (disassembly, trial-and-error, etc.). Undocumented information tends to change -- often dramatically -- between successive revisions of a product, since the manufacturer has no obligation to maintain compatibility in behavior which is not explicitly stated.} {#idx9699}{#idx9724}

INT 13 - DISK - GET DRIVE PARAMETERS (PCIBM PC,XT286IBM PC XT/286,CONVIBM Convertible,PSIBM PS/2, any model,ESDI(Enhanced Small Device Interface) A disk drive interface type which was briefly popular before IDE took over. An ESDI drive can transfer data between the drive and controller at 10, 15, or 20 megabits per second, which is faster than an MFM or RLL controller but slower than what is possible with an IDE or SCSI drive. See also IDE.,SCSI(Small Computer Systems Interface) A system-independent expansion bus typically used to connect hard disks, tape drives, and CD-ROMs to a computer. A host adapter connects the SCSI bus to the computer's own bus. See also ESDI, IDE.) {#idx8649}
