Re:looking for optimized asm - 2006/04/13 09:00 Hello,
if this is meant to be a bootsector for a floppy disk, you can assume standard values for the number of sectors/heads/tracks as disk size and geometry is always the same. By inserting these concrete numbers into your equation the code should get much simpler.

For an example you might have a look at John Fine's bootsector. Read32 in Boot12.asm does exactly what you are looking for..

regards,
gaf
