[Coco] Config in Nitros9?

[Bob Devries]

According to all the specs I can find on the TEC FB-501, it is a 180K drive, 
which makes it single-sided, but 40 tracks. If your unit won't format beyond 
35 tracks, I suggest you look for a fault, possibly with the surface of the 
glide rods that the head slides on. I suspect dirt has made it hard for the 
head to be stepped beyond 35 tracks.
