How to read from floppy using CHS or LBA

[kemosparc]

Hi,

I want to read from floppy using CHS or LBA.

I read the samples here http://wiki.osdev.org/ATA_read/write_sectors

But I cannot figure out which parameter defines the drive.

If anyone has a more details explanation with examples on how to use CHS and LBA that will be great

Thanks
Karim.

The article you quote relates to ATA disks, not normal floppy disks.

Be aware that it's not trivial.

I suggest you to start using harddrive, since floppy is outdated (well, it "was" outdated for a long time). And the harddrive is not hard to code.
