After recently running optimize for QEMM, I found that I could not park my
hard drive heads (ST238R drive with ST11 controller) since something no
longer recognized my controller type.

Is there much serious danger in leaving my heads unparked?

What is the reason for this monkey-business anyway?  Is there a way around 
this problem (without giving up the convenient ability to load TSR's into
high memory)?
