The biggest problem, I think, is that there are BIOSes out there which
croak on high drive numbers, not just FF.
The problem with the status of drive 7F -- which is part of the original
specification -- is that at a lot of BIOSes do not implement it, or
worse, return garbage information. ISOLINUX uses it has "plan B" (if
the original DL query didn't work).
