The basic problem is that there is no requirement that a CHS translating
BIOS followed these rules. There are many other algorithms that can be
implemented to perform a similar function. Today, there are at least two
popular implementions: the Phoenix implementation (described above) and
popular implementations: the Phoenix implementation (described above) and
the non-Phoenix implementations. Because a protected mode OS that does
not want to use INT 13H must implement the same CHS translation
algorithm. If it doesn't, your data gets scrambled.
