8.16 Extended Write (FN 43h)

This function shall transfer sectors from memory to the device. If the device does not support the WRITE VERIFY command, this function rejects the request with AH = 01h and CF = 1b. FN 48h shall be used to detect if the device supports the WRITE VERIFY command. In the event of an error, the block count field of the device address packet contains the number of blocks transferred before the error occurred. The calling software should not assume that the data transferred is validly written to the media. AL also contains the values 00h, 01h, or 02h. This function rejects all other values with AH = 01h and CF = 1b.
