Int 21H Function 1AH

▀ If this function is never called by the program, the DTA defaults to a
128-byte buffer at offset 0080H in the program segment prefix.
▀ In general, it is the programmer's responsibility to ensure that the
buffer area specified is large enough for any disk operation that will
use it. The only exception to this is that MS-DOS will detect and
abort disk transfers that would cause a segment wrap.
▀ Int 21H Function 2FH can be used to determine the current disk transfer
address.
▀ The only handle-type operations that rely on the current DTA address
are the directory search functions, Int 21H Functions 4EH and 4FH.
