Perhaps you're a bit confused? Int 0eh, as it relates to the floppy
controller, is a hardware interrupt, not a software interrupt, generated
by the controller when an operation is completed.

Try simplifying, and not making it so {*filter*} yourself. If you just
want to see if the drive is accessible, call dos.findfirst(). A
non-zero value should indicate an error.
