UMBC CMSC211

Extra Credit Project Due: 15 May

Requirements Specfication

Write a program that will read the first sector (sector 0) on a floppy disk and then print out any strings in the 512 bytes, one string per line. Remember, this is not a file, so you can use the open file INT. You must use the one that reads an absolute sector. You must set up the registers, so that it will read the correct device and the right number of sectors. For this project, a string will be two or more displayable characters, where the displayable characters are in the range of 32 to 126. Sometimes the string is garbage, sometimes it is good.
