- This info can be read from BIOS: set type 1, boot and look data pointed
- by vector 41h (46h for 2-nd drive, as I remember). 16 bytes for every
- type shows information like cylinder count, head count, sectors/track,
- park cylinder, write precompensation cylinder. I don't remember 'what
- is what', but it should be easy to guess...
