The parameter to function DiskType is the drive letter, or '@' for the default
drive.  The output is the number of K the disk is formatted for
  (360, 320, 180, 160) or one of two error numbers:

  error 0 indicates an invalid drive number
  error 1 indicates a non-standard format

                                         just before A, @ gives 0, which
