NonStandard Floppy

I want to access a nonstandard formatted floppy ( 256 bytes/sector, 16
sector/track) and the standard floppy driver don't know to read this
kind of floppy.
In W95 I did that with BOIS int1Eh (floppy drive parameters) and int
13h.
How can I do that in NT/2000/XP? ( no BIOS interuptions access...)
I begin to look the fdc example and I think that's the way ( modify the
driver to know this particular format).
Anybody knows other ways?If this is the solution, what and where I must
change in this floppy driver example to read this format?
Thanks.

I don't think the FDC.SYS driver is the way to do what you want.
FLPYDISK.SYS is the correct place. Maybe you should consider hiring one
of the many consultants that appear here. I am not going to write the
code for you for free and you haven't even asked about system file
protection yet - but you will.
