<pre><b>INT 13 - FLOPPY - FORMAT TRACK</b>

	AH = 05h
	AL = number of sectors to format
	CH = track number
	DH = head number
	DL = drive number
	ES:BX -&gt; address field buffer (see <a href=../../it/35/2.html>#00235</a>)
Return: CF set on error
	CF clear if successful
	AH = status (see <a href=../../it/34/2.html>#00234</a>)
Notes:	on AT or higher, call AH=17h first
	the number of sectors per track is read from the diskette parameter
	  table pointed at by INT 1E
BUG:	some old Compaq BIOSes have a bug when attempting to call this function
	  from Windows Standard Mode with EMM386 loaded.  A possible workaround
	  is to call this function from Real Mode e.g. through DPMI function
	  "Call Real Mode function with FAR return" (see INT 31/AX=0301h).
