+;--------------------------------------------------------------------
+; LBA assist calculation:
+; this is how to fit a big drive into INT13's skimpy size requirements,
+; with a maximum of 8.4G available.
+;
+; total LBAs (as obtained by words 60+61)
+; divided by 63 (sectors per track) (save as value A)
+; Sub 1 from A
+; divide A by 1024 + truncate.
+; == total number of heads to use.
+; add 1
+; this value must be either 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 (round up)
+; then take the value A above and divide by # of heads
+; to get the # of cylinders to use.
+;
+;
+; so a LBA28 drive will have 268,435,456 as maximum LBAs
+;
+; 10000000h / 63   = 410410h (total cylinders or tracks)
+;   410410h / 1024 = 1041h, which is way more than 256 heads, but 256 is max.
+;   410410h / 256  = 4104h cylinders
+;
+; there's a wealth of information at: http://www.mossywell.com/boot-sequence
+; they show a slightly different approach to LBA assist calulations, but
+; the method here provides compatibility with phoenix BIOS
+;
+; we're using the values from 60+61 here because we're topping out at 8.4G
+; anyway, so there's no need to use the 48bit LBA values.
