Details

This standard assumes that the reader is familiar with the conventional INT 13h interface, the usage of the BIOS
Device Parameter Table, and the basic operation of mass storage devices. This standard describes in detail
BIOS functions and data structures that are used as an abstraction layer to allow higher-level applications to
access mass storage devices in an interface and command-set independent manner. To comply with this
standard, higher-level software shall call the INT functions using the data structures described herein, and
system firmware shall provide the INT functions and data structures described herein.
