[Coco] DSKINI glitch while using physical drive 1 and SDC DOS 1.5

[Rietveld Rietveld]

It's only a minor glitch and not really a big problem. Just wanted to point it out. Thanks for looking into it.

There will eventually be an update to SDC-DOS once I determine the best way
to go about fixing the problem.

For now, if you need to format real floppy disks using SDC-DOS you will
probably want to enable the appropriate High Speed poke beforehand.  The
alternatives are to wait a few minutes for DSKINI to complete or press the
Reset button to interrupt the verification pass (when stepping of the head
slows to once every few seconds).
