[Coco] Formatting HD floppies w/ modified controller.

[Robert Gault]

OK, post the ident info on cc3disk and rb1773, also for rbf. That should 
cover the important software.

What is the hardware setup, MPI, floppy controller card? Is the MPI if 
present stock or modified for IRQ lines? Anything else like the above 
you think might be relevant.

Keep in mind that at this time we don't know what causes this problem on 
some systems. It may even be the brand/model of the 3.5" drive for all 
anyone knows.

Oh and can rb1773 also write correctly to the 3.5" floppy? That will 
isolate the error to just the write track command if you can do normal I/O.
