If you are programming in C you can go down to the assembler level and issue a BIOS interrupt (sorry I don't recall the number) to write to a particular disk location. DOS interrupt 25H allows you to write to a particular disk sector, but seeing that this is the TLUG Mailing list, I don't imagine that's of much help to you.

I would like to read information from specific absolute RAM addresses. Is it possible to create a file that is located starting at such a specific address?. Any suggestion on how to do this?
