Hi
 OK, I did a little googling for Sellam. INT 1E is
the pointer to the disk table. It can be found
at 50:22.

All this info can be found at:

     and
http://members.tripod.com/~oldboard/assembly/int_1e.html

 Be prepared for a few cookies. Still, for one playing
with a PC, there is a lot of info here.
 Anyway, Sellam, I recall that smaller numbers made the
steps faster. In any case, you can experiment with the
values a little. If the table isn't in RAM, you may need
to make a TSR to reserve some space hide your replacement
table. Have fun!
Dwight
