[Coco] OS-9 128MB max hard drive - /sd1

[Bob Devries]

I just had a look at the code of llcocosdc.asm and found that the 
setstat (ll_setstat) subroutine does indeed return error 208 no matter 
what it is asked to do. As far as I know, the format routine should be 
in there. No idea why it was removed? Setstat should at least return 
with no error when asked to do a track format command, since no actual 
formatting is done.

Darren, what's the go here?
