You can follow the example of MESS when handling Coco floppies. Any floppy 
labeled .dsk is assumed to be single sided, have 18 sector tracks, 256 byte 
sectors, and a multiple of 35 tracks per disk; basically the JVC format.
Any disk labeled .os9, means that the format must be taken from LSN0; permitting 
double sided disks of any size. Regards tpi and other info, that is a function 
of OS-9 and the drive in use and should be transparent to the user.

At the moment, NitrOS-9 does not handle adequately issues related to tpi and in 
some cases hard drives. Mark Marlette (because Cloud-9 is selling drive 
hardware) and Gene Heskett (because he seems to find bugs more than anyone else 
do to his extensive drive collection) should be queried to see what is needed 
for their hardware.
