// Hypervisor-Virtual machine bi-directional communication
// through floppy disk.
//
// This class provides the hypervisor-side of the script.
// For the guest-side, check the perl scripts that
// were available with this code.
//
// Here is the layout of the floppy disk image (Example of 28k):
//
// +-----------------+------------------------------------------------+
// | 0x0000 - 0x37FF | Hypervisor -> Guest Buffer |
// | 0x3800 - 0x6FFE | Guest -> Hypervisor Buffer |
// | 0x6FFF | "Data available for guest" flag byte |
// | 0x7000 | "Data available for hypervisor" flag byte |
