- either a 4 bit drive type or 0xf indicating use byte 0x19
- for an 8 bit type, drive 1, 0x1a for drive 2 in CMOS.
-
- Needless to say, a non-zero value means we have
- an AT controller hard disk for that drive.

- Currently the rtc_lock is a bit academic since this
- driver is non-modular, but someday... ? Paul G.
