DESCRIPTION

Generates a BIOS / DOS compatible H-C-S mapping for the specified device / size.

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.
