half height drive - 5¼ indicates 5.25 inch half height drive - FH indicates Full Height 5.25 inch drive - 'u' in filesize indicates unformatted spec - formatted capacity is related to BIOS and may vary with different BIOS and OEM versions - read/write heads should normally never touch hard disk media - standard AT hard disk controllers do not use DMA for disk I/O due to the slow speed of the 8 Bit DMA chips used; Port I/O is used instead for an actual increase in performance - with some XT and ESDI systems it is necessary to use debug to execute the ROM disk format code; The usual method is to set AH=Drive, AL=Interleave and jump to the code at C800:5 via the G =C800:5 command (some systems locate this code at C600:5, CA00:5 and CC00:5) - DOS version and disk size determine cluster size; DOS 2.x always has cluster size of 8K, while DOS 3.x+ has variable cluster sizes: 2 - 16 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 8K 16 - 128 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 2K 128 - 256 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 4K 256 - 512 Mb partitions have a cluster size of 8K
