This past weekend I posted a new file bios_wini.c and some changes to klib88.s,
main.c, and glo.h.  With this file and these changes, you get a driver that
should work on any known machine claimed to be PC compatible.  As I requested
when I posted it, I would like feedback to see if it indeed works.  So far
nobody has responded.  Give it a try (even if you already have a working
hard disk driver) and let me know what happened.
