This raises an interesting issue. TOS and EmuTOS allow up to 75 non-standard
handles (6-80 inclusive). Hatari uses 64-95 for its GEMDOS handles. So it's
possible to have different files open on different drives (one GEMDOS and one
non-GEMDOS), with the same handle.
It is of course extrememly unlikely that this will happen, but it could (I have
a test program if anyone needs one to verify). If it *does* happen, I assume
that I/O to the non-GEMDOS file will quietly be routed by Hatari to the GEMDOS
file. To be safe, the GEMDOS handles *should* start at 81 or higher.
