INT 13H
INT 13h is shorthand for BIOS interrupt call 13hex, the 20th interrupt vector in an x86-based computer system. The BIOS typically sets up a real mode interrupt handler at this vector that provides sector-based hard disk and floppy disk read and write services using cylinder-head-sector (CHS) addressing.
INT is an x86 instruction that triggers a software interrupt, and 13hex is the interrupt number (as a hexadecimal value) being called.
Overview
Under real mode operating systems, such as MS-DOS, calling INT 13h would jump into the computer's ROM-BIOS code for low-level disk services, which would carry out physical sector-based disk read or write operations for the program. In MS-DOS, it serves as the low-level interface for the built-in block device drivers for hard disks and floppy disks. This allows INT 25h and INT 26h to provide absolute disk read/write functions for logical sectors to the FAT file system driver in the DOS kernel, which handles file-related requests through MS-DOS API (INT 21h) functions.

And I Waited
by: HansonVerses:
Is there something wrong with the way you feel? 'Cause you've been acting like you're overloaded. Been going on like, you got something to prove, you better keep it in mind. Maybe it's too hot, out on the black top, nobody else is gonna save you.
You're pretty uptight for being downtown. I've been up all night.
Chorus:
And I waited, waited for something to arrive. Got to keep this beat alive, but she keeps me satisfied. And I waited, waited for something to be real. When it's pounding in you're ear, doesn't matter what you feel.
Verses:
Where do we go from here? The future's so unclear. You're such a doll my dear. Well there's nothing wrong, with the way you look. But you've been acting like you're up to no good.
You've been playing me like I've got nothing to lose, you better keep it in line. I'm gonna get off untill the last stop, nobody else is going to save me.
Turn the heat up, for the meltdown.
