     This service parks the heads of PS/2 disk drives. You should do this
     before moving a drive. Place the number of the disk to park in DL (0
     origin), and set bit 7 of DL to 1 for hard disks.

     On return, AH holds the status code (see Service 01h for the meaning of
     the codes). If the carry flag is set, the operation failed.
