Contributor: TURBO POWER {$S-,R-,V-,I-,B-,F+,O+,A-,X+} unit DDisk; {-Read and write absolute sectors using DOS int $25 and $26 in protected mode under DOS or Windows. Does not support real mode. Requires BP7 or TPW 1.5. Based on the code in the OPDOS unit from Object Professional. Thanks to Maynard Riley and Mark Boler for work done on this unit. Notes: The calling parameters correspond to those in OPDOS. Drive = 0 corresponds to drive A. Sectors are typically 512 bytes each. NumSects*SectorSize must be less than 64K. Buf may be any buffer in a protected mode program. DDISK temporarily allocates a DOS real mode buffer, then copies the result into or out of Buf. If the function returns False, the DosError variable from the DOS or WINDOS unit may have a non-zero value with more information about the failure. Use DPMIWriteDiskSectors with caution!
