this is for standard intel assembly language

can anyone tell me what interrupt/service call i can use to get the
device handle?

note:  this is the DEVICE HANDLE,  not a file handle .  (e.g., the
handle for the C: drive, not for any particular file)

No, it's not.  It's for an operating system, but you don't specify which
one.

What do you mean by "handle for the C: drive"?  What do you plan to do with
this handle?  And in which operating system?  The BIOS, which is what
interrupts call, doesn't have the concept of "device handles".

If you are using windows, try CreateFile API.
