I did not change anything, just watched the variables.

OK: 254.000000 -130671.000000 -2099229568.000000
> cyl_size = 16065.0
I got one less - 16064 (file disk_dos.c, line #564: cyl_size = Y / X)
> head_size = 63.0
head size is computed at line #575 as head_size = a_ - c * cyl_size) / h;
(8305668 - 517 * 16064) / 1 = 580
Hope this will help.
