[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Floppy Disk Controllers

pmswl@dcatla.UUCP (Scott W. Leonard) (06/07/89)

        I'm looking for some assembly source to access (program)
        the NEC 765 or the INTEL 8272A Floppy Disk Controller.
 
        I've got the chip specs. for all the functions, but I'm
        having some trouble with the application.

        I don't want to go through a lot of trouble re-inventing
        the wheel, so I'm checking to see if there is any source
        code available.  Anything, even sample routines, would
        be greatly appreciated.

                                Thanks
                                Scott Leonard

     You might try looking around and obtaining a copy of the OLD PC-DOS
     BIOS source listings that IBM used to publish for their old IBM-PC
     machines. IBM used to publish the source to their BIOS a long time
     ago, and programmers could get it fairly easily several years ago.
     Of course this was back in the DOS 2.11 days.

"You were in the Clone Wars!", said Luke excitedly.
"Yes", replied Obi Wan, "I was a DOS programmer. But that was before the dark
 times, before OS2."
