A floppy file system could need it in order to distinct between DD and HD floppies. But not a hard disk file system.

AFAIK there are also other old true SCSI controllers that convert CMD_READ/WRITE to SCSI Read(6) and Write(6) which has 1G limit. HD_SCSICMD and Read/Write(10) works fine, even if drive is >4G. (But on the other hand some controllers simply hang if drive is too big..)
This is the remaining annoying problem.
ADDED: I guess this should work: if end of partition is <4G and CMD_READ fails, re-read using HD_SCSICMD SCSI Read(6). Select DS if it succeeds.

If Read(6) has the same limit as CMD_READ, then it would be better to use Read(10) instead, wouldn't it?
