Expected: 213600 is limited to 128MB, by its very definition.

> 2F1510 gives:
> blocks = 308862, bsize = 2048, resulting in 632,180,736 or ~602.9MB

That's the right value (the actual number depends on how full is the
CD, of course: it can go up to 700MB).

> Under Windows (DOS box) with 217303, I get:
> blocks = 19275, bsize = 32768, resulting in 631,603,200 or ~602.3MB

That's a lie: the block size is reported incorrectly (2048 is the
right value).  This clearly shows that we shouldn't use 217303 for
CDs.

Small wonder: I guess Windows uses 217303 itself.
