[Coco] Adding SCBBT and T1 the easiest way?

[Kandur]

Back in the day, I used to edit/modify SCF and RBF descriptors.
Now I haven't the foggiest, how to do it.
My 5.25" drive can read and write these kind of floppies:
TYP=20, TRK=0028 and TYP=21, TRK=0050
Realize the second one is not a standard dmode, but it works
great and holds twice as much data, then the first one.
This also allow me to use the backup command
to duplicate a 3.5" floppy on a 5.25" one.
I'd like to have a descriptor for the second type, 
so I don't have to change it's dmode after every boot.
