[Coco] NitrOS9 build errors

[Bill Pierce]

Tormod, there is actually a header format that Jeff proposed for his JVC format back in the 90s but most just ignored it and went with no header for all sizes which actually signifies a 35trk SSDD disk

Here's a link to a page on my site containing the format

That could be considered cheating, but if it recognizes the disk as an
OS-9 one, it could check sector 0 for geometry details.
