.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Generates a BIOS / DOS compatible H-C-S mapping for the specified
device / size.
.PP
XXX Most SCSI boards use this mapping, I could be incorrect. Someone
using hard disks on a trantor should verify that this mapping
corresponds to that used by the BIOS / ASPI driver by running the linux
fdisk program and matching the H_C_S coordinates to what DOS uses.
