INT 13 - DISK - GET CURRENT DRIVE PARAMETERS (XT,AT,XT286,CONV,PS)
        AH = 08h
        DL = drive number
Return: CF set on error
        AH = status code (see AH=01h)
        BL = drive type (see AH=17h) (AT/PS2 floppies only)
        DL = number of consecutive acknowledging drives
        DH = maximum value for head number
        CL = maximum value for sector number (bits 0-5)
        CH = maximum value for cylinder number (highest bits in bits 6,7 of CL)
        ES:DI -> drive parameter table
