While we're talking about constants, it's important to be aware of constants that are not scoped to
any particular component.

the original AT BIOS was satisfied with a refresh bit that merely alternated, whereas the new AT BIOS
is much more particular about the rate at which that bit changes, since many hard-coded delay-loops have
now been replaced with code that waits for a specific number of refresh cycles.
+ The 8042 Keyboard Controller emulation needed a few more tweaks, mainly with respect to what happens
when the keyboard's "clock" line is toggled (see *set8042CmdData()* in [chipset.js](/my_modules/pcjs-client/lib/chipset.js)).

probes for a second hard drive anyway, and it does so by simply writing the drive number to the ATC's "DRVHD"
register and then immediately reading the "STATUS" register, without issuing any intervening command.

It was an easy fix to *outATCDrvHd()* in [hdc.js](/modules/pcjs/lib/hdc.js), but I was surprised
to discover that the ATC had this behavior, and now I'm wondering how many other I/O operations require
immediate "STATUS" register updates.
