[Coco] Remembering my RS-DOS days...

[L. Curtis Boyle]

I did fill up a 128 MB drive, but that was because I was keeping a lot of sound and graphics files that weren’t specifically Coco related. The IDE driver I did for Glenside did support LBA and CHS modes, but LBA is a lot easier (and less code required) to support.
