May I point out that I was not interested in CHS alone. My focus was the
origin of the hard drives parameters i.e. geometry, which is the subject of
discussion. From this discussion and other sources I have learned that CHS, as you
say, is arbitrary

They flat out are not stored anywhere. There is a standard algorithm
published by the VESA people, I believe, that provides the data
