Well, but that rewrite didn't gain much, to the best of my knowledge.
I'm not sure whether i've still got a copy of his work at all...

In addition to a general cleanup, there are exactly two items on the
wishlist for a floppy driver rewrite, and i wouldn't consider the task
successful unless those goald have been met: support for 2.88 MB
floppies, as rare as they might be, but they should be supported, and
an automatic format detection, something even my CP/M floppy driver
already had. :)
