To get FDFORMAT work on your XT, no FDREAD is neccessary. FDREAD is
only required on AT class machines. Standard XT Controllers allow
to read Disks with more than the standard sectors without a TSR.

Thus I used 286 instructions to make FDREAD less memory consuming.
Simply don't load FDREAD when you use FDFORMAT, when you are using
an XT-Computer
