You want a bit more if you ever begin to support multimedia or READ/WRITE
LONG, that can get you up to about 2500 bytes per "sector".
You also need to watch that you handle inb/inw/inl on the data port
properly as devices can support 32bit I/O on the data port which is not
the same as a 32bit I/O usually is (it does not return the value of port,
port +1, port + 2, port +3). Or you can report that 32bit I/O is not
supported in the drive identify page..
