    Apparently there is a byte(s) location in one of the hidden dos files
that determine the sector size used. My PRIAM disk manager patches this
code byte if I want to allow disk sizes larger than 32Meg. The problem
with this method is that disk access slows down (so the manual claims).
I don't use this mode so I don't know how well it works.
