I'm currently searching for a routines that
  - assign a partitiontableentry to a logical disk
  - calculate the Track/Head/Sector values from a logical sectornumber on a given
partition
  - read disks directly but don't use AX=7305/INT21h or INT25/26 or INT13

I'll have a look on it.

Thanks for your advise. By, Andreas.
