A new SDC Driver and Boot Module were uploaded to the NitrOS-9 repository a
couple of weeks ago. The nightly build disk images have not yet been
updated to include these changes.

The Init routine in the new driver now scans the MPI slots looking for a
*real* floppy controller. If it finds one then it makes that the active
slot so that /d0,  /d1, etc will access real floppy drives.

The slot containing the CoCo SDC is now activated only during I/O calls for
/sd0 or /sd1.
