TOS 2.06 fixes that. I'm not convinced it would be worth the
trouble writing a special floppy driver. Nowadays, I use my
floppy drive mainly for program installation, not for productive
work with the computer. Not that I wouldn't like background
floppy transfers, but let's focus on hard disks first which are
most people's main storage medium, especially for people who use
MiNT, MultiTOS and *NIX-like setups.
