    Except we fixed the cylinder issue by making the boot code use linear
    addressing BIOS calls when available (which should be always on any
    BIOS in the last 5 years).

Not to worry.  Pretty sure it is a headspace or hardware issue of the sort
you can't code around (unless you are into robotics).
Sam's mailbox is overquota at the moment, but I won't need robotics,
he may be as close as 15-40 minutes from my flat.
Note the surname and ISP.

Best,

Bill
