[Coco] IDE internal 100mb ZIP drives

[Ray Watts]

Thanks for the hints.  I'll need all the help I can get.  It's 
interesting how different the two are.  I still wonder what "pcdos" uses 
to identify a floppy as MSDOS or non-MSDOS and what differs between the 
floppy and the ZIP in that respect.

Incidentally, I did find references of the Mac doing the formatting in 
one of the sectors (Mac only terminology), but that can't be a problem 
since the floppies work fine.

Cheers,  Griz
