Do you mean Ralph Brown's Interrupt List?
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html
Or in HTML (I found this dificult to use)
http://www.ctyme.com/rbrown.htm

Looks like  Int 13 0x45 Lock/Unlock
And I would think 0x46 Eject Media
Perhaps 0x49 Extended Media Change
Located in Ralph's interrup.b file.
INTERRUP.1ST  lists all the files and what's in them.

Won't you need to be compiling 16bit apps to use these?  That's
probably why they added those funtions to NT.

I don't understand the requirement of "mounting" a drive, unless the
driver isn't present and doesn't automatically load. The only
references to Mount I found in the lists were for those ancient
compressed drives.
