Detection of byte-swapped harddisks in EmuTOS is only supported for
those with MS-DOS style MBR/partition table: See
<https://github.com/emutos/emutos/blob/master/bios/disk.c#L396>

The disk image above -- being partitioned with AHDI -- has an Atari
partition table, though, and the byte order is wrong for IDE access.
Hence it is not recognized as a valid hard disk by EmuTOS.
