	- STnn indicates Seagate ST412/ST506 compatible
	- 3« indicates 3.5 inch half height drive
	- 5¬ indicates 5.25 inch half height drive
	- FH indicates Full Height 5.25 inch drive
	- 'u' in filesize indicates unformatted spec
	- formatted capacity is related to BIOS and may vary with different
	  BIOS and OEM versions
	- read/write heads should normally never touch hard disk media
	- standard AT hard disk controllers do not use DMA for disk I/O due
	  to the slow speed of the 8 Bit DMA chips used;  Port I/O is used
	  instead for an actual increase in performance
	- with some XT and ESDI systems it is necessary to use debug to
	  execute the ROM disk format code;  The usual method is to set
	  AH=Drive, AL=Interleave and jump to the code at C800:5 via the
	  G =C800:5 command (some systems locate this code at C600:5, CA00:5
	  and CC00:5)
	- DOS version and disk size determine cluster size;   DOS 2.x always
	  has cluster size of 8K, while DOS 3.x+ has variable cluster sizes:

		    2 - 16  Mb partitions have a cluster size of 8K
		   16 - 128 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 2K
		  128 - 256 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 4K
		  256 - 512 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 8K
