HW/FloppyDrive: Support ambigious formats #11

@spycrab

Description

@spycrab

e.g. a 360K floppy could be

  • 5.25" (40 x 9 sectors, 2 heads)
  • 3.5" (80 x 9 sectors, 1 head)

While this isn't a problem when using linear-block-addressing,
INT 0x13, AH=0x08 would return invalid disk geometry. (Thus breaking programs relying on this interrupt and/or trigger disk geometry based copy protection).
