Int 13 Fn 03  - Disk - Write Disk Sector(s)                                [B]

   AH = 03h
   AL = number of sectors to write (must be nonzero)
   CH = low eight bits of cylinder number
   CL = sector number 1-63 (bits 0-5)
        high two bits of cylinder (bits 6-7, hard disk only)
   DH = head number
   DL = drive number (bit 7 set for hard disk)
   ES:BX -> data buffer

Return: CF set on error
   CF clear if successful
   AH = status (see #0166)
   AL = number of sectors transferred
         (only valid if CF set for some BIOSes)

Notes: errors on a floppy may be due to the motor failing to spin up quickly
     enough; the write should be retried at least three times, resetting
     the disk with AH=00h between attempts
   most BIOSes support "multitrack" writes, where the value in AL
     exceeds the number of sectors remaining on the track, in which
     case any additional sectors are written beginning at sector 1 on
     the following head in the same cylinder; the CONFIG.SYS command
     MULTITRACK can be used to force DOS to split disk accesses which
     would wrap across a track boundary into two separate calls
   the IBM AT BIOS and many other BIOSes use only the low four bits of
     DH (head number) since the WD-1003 controller which is the standard
     AT controller (and the controller that IDE emulates) only supports
     16 heads
   AWARD AT BIOS and AMI 386sx BIOS have been extended to handle more
     than 1024 cylinders by placing bits 10 and 11 of the cylinder number
     into bits 6 and 7 of DH
   under Windows95, an application must issue a physical volume lock on
     the drive via INT 21/AX=440Dh before it can successfully write to
     the disk with this function
