Eric, provide precise scenario for tom. For example:
- "I have unformatted partition, unimportant which size";
- "I run WHICHFAT";
- "I get bla-bla-bla behavior instead bla-bla-bla behavior, as in MS-DOS";
- "WHICHFAT calls bla-bla-bla functions; on output expected bla-bla-bla, but
received bla-bla-bla".

_Sometime_, better to prevent such "bugfixing", especially because CHS
access is only one possible way, how to handle strange geometry, and it is
not the best (even as compromise between LBA and "no disk").

"Irrelevant" = "doesn't changes speed"?
