Alternate Capacity (AC)

For user capacities below 66,055,248 sectors (32GB), inserting the AC
jumper limits the Number of Cylinders field 1 to a value of 16,383, as
reported in IDENTIFY DEVICE data word. This allows software drivers
to determine that the actual capacity is larger than indicated by the
maximum CHS, requiring LBA addressing to use the full capacity.
