I am currently working a program that calls int 39h (Create sub)
and int 3ch (Create file) from an interrupt.  When creating a sub
or file on a hard, ram, or stacker drive it works just fine.
But when creating a sub or file on a floppy drive it simply halts
in the middle of the interrupt call.  Note that the exact same code
works just fine when called from a non resident program.
Is the some oddity of dos that does not allow int 39h and int 3ch
to be called from a resident program when writing to floppy drive,
or is there something I may be doing wrong?
