   Which function gives me sector size?

   No, I don't want to bypass the BIOS translation. I just want   
   the BIOS to tell me what sector size I should use.   
      
   If the BIOS doesn't already do that, then I'd like to know how   
   the BIOS should best be extended. You've suggested a new,   
   unused, function code, which answers my question.   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
