Enought of this religious war about dosread.c.
Back to work, or am I the only one  having dosread
failures.  I can get it to read drive A floppy disk
low density(360) and drive B floppy disk high density
(1.2M), but it rejected drive C my MFM hard disk drive.
Therefore I enabled the debug define and got for a
printout:

MINIX> dosdir -l c
OEM =  ^NP^N@^NX8
Bytes/sector = 35708
Sectors/cluster = 224
Number of Reserved Clusters = 35835
Number of FAT's = 240
Number of root-directory entries = 191
Total sectors in logical volume = 64638
Media descriptor = 0xB9
Number of sectors/FAT = 256
Sectors/track = 42483
Number of heads = 233
Number of hidden sectors = 47362
Bootblock magic number = 0xAA55
reserved != 1
Can't handle disk
