+; this file provides the __sio_call function
+; the function does a SIO call, it's not completely
+; generic (e.g. transfer size is fixed), it's used
+; to save space with _dio_read and _dio_write functions
+;
+; unsigned char __fastcall__ _sio_call(_driveid_t drive_id,
+; _sectnum_t sect_num,
+; void *buffer,
+; unsigned int sio_val);
+; _driveid_t - 8bit
+; _sectnum_t - 16bit
+; sio_cal is (sio_command | sio_direction << 8)
