Two things:
1. Hatari doesn't necessarily know (I think) what filehandles TOS might assign.
I think it picks a range starting above what it knows TOS can use.
2. ExtenDOS and MetaDOS also use file handles > 40 for the same reason.  Is it
possible that the asm56000 author was assuming that a file handle > 40 meant
that it was on CD?
