What can I say? A combination of fat fingers (5.24 instead of 5.25)
and failing memory (a 1.2M 5.25 disk is in fact 80 tracks), however
the tests for disk type are indeed correct (ie. if you can't read
track 0 sector 18, but can read track 0 sector 15 then this is 
probably a 1.2M 5.25 AT floppy)! Thanks for pointing this out!
