Also found a small oddity:
In the program for testing my small hard disk read and write,按理说 it should only be able to read and write 1023 (3FF, 1111111111) cylinders (0-1022)
But, it can read and write 1024 cylinders!

Puzzled beyond measure..

I also don't understand your intention. Since the int13h extended call no longer uses CHS parameters, how do you know you can read and write 1024 cylinders? (It should be the 1024th cylinder) Did you still convert it?

It worked!

Also:
I don't know QB, I don't know if QB can get the address at once?

In the code of qb45:
Can the MKI$ variable take out an address value from buffdat$?
Next...

My program is just a demonstration in principle, just wanting to realize the read and write of extended INT13, and has not done optimization or something. If you want to simplify, only change MKI$(d2%) to MKI$(SADD(buffdat$)). Actually, there is no great significance, but it does seem to have two fewer variables on the surface!

I think in programming, making hard disk utilities is very interesting and very valuable.

On a 486 computer, the BIOS is very old and does not support extended INT13, so large hard disks cannot be read and written, but it is very interesting. We can use IO ports on 486 computers to realize reading and writing of hard disks with a capacity of 137G or more.

Hope everyone can study each other!

I don't know if everyone is interested in reading and writing to the hard drive via ports

Extremely interested!

I've been looking for information on this for a long time

I/O methods, it seems that CIH has used them

Yeah, I've been researching hard disk reading and writing these days, and there are tests with conversion to the limit.

So this kind of technical specification must be looked at the official standards~~ ;)

Obtaining the Hard Drive Serial Number (Original Program)
This is an example of programming the hard drive using ports
This program must run under DOS and I have run it successfully under QB4.5 version

There are two IDE interfaces on the mainboard, and each interface is divided into master and slave, so 4 IDE devices can be connected. The port numbers of these 4 are different. This program uses ports 1F0 - 1F7, which are the master interface on the first IDE interface of the mainboard, and this is the most commonly used one. The others just have different port numbers, and the programming method and principle are the same.

After compiling and linking, it can be executed and can be called like a DOS command. However, the usage method is not written. Probably, you input the linear address of the sector you want to read, divided into 4 segments of 4 bits each in 16 - bit hexadecimal, separated by spaces. In addition, there is a switch to switch between displaying 16 lines/32 lines as the 5th parameter.
```

In the program I tested for reading and writing small hard drives, theoretically, it should only be able to read and write 1023 (3FF, 1111111111) cylinders (0-1022). However, it can read and write 1024 cylinders!

For those supporting INT13 extensions, as long as the final DAP address is the same, they are accessing the same place. CHS has little practical meaning to it. For those not supporting, it will be different. But the problem is that for USB flash drives, many BIOSes report supporting INT13E, but in fact, it's a false appearance (this is also the reason for the poor compatibility of USB flash drive booting). The culprit of this problem is the BIOS. Actually, hard drives conforming to the ATA standard truly use LBA addresses to access (it's not that the number of sectors in different cylinders of antique hard drives is truly different, and CHS is根本 meaningless).

On a 486 computer, the BIOS is very old and doesn't support extended INT13, so it can't read and write large hard drives. But interestingly, we can use I/O ports on a 486 computer to implement reading and writing of hard drives with a capacity of over 137G.

Impossible. The hard drive controller chip of a 486 at most provides LBA28 addresses. The LBA address required for LBA48 is 48 bits, so it can never access a hard drive with a capacity >137G.

Is there the simplest tool to modify the hard disk number?
