I can only think of one way that would work across all DOSes, and all types
of disks (after all, you may want to have a disk copy routine that copies a
boot disk, or oddly sized ATR file).  The only way I can think of is to just
try and read sectors until you find the last one-not the greatest method.

Perhaps you could try to request the percom block, but I don't think every
device will provide that, so you can't rely on it necessarily.
