If I'm understanding correctly, this hasn't been true of any system
manufactured in quite some time. As of the late 1990s into very early
2000s, as disk sizes got larger they expanded beyond the reach of the
PC BIOS. And so the initial segment of code to be loaded had to be
within a certain range--I don't even remember what that range was,
it's been so long.
