It should't be hard to make drivers to run with any size floppies - all that
is needed is to read the Bios Parameter Block info are on the diskette, instead
of trying to guess the size form the media byte... I know hat  QNX is able to
format to several different sector/track sizes for standard 48-tpi media - I
think 9, 10, & 12 are the options (i.e. 360K to 480K). I have written this code
as an exercise for PC/MS-DOS - it really was pretty simple.
