ok, so it means you do have a classic floppy drive, aren't you?
in that case, i must prompt the drive to be used. Or maybe better prompt for the
drive on error. That way, if you're carefull not to have any floppy in fd0, it
will ask which drive to use after an error message. Does it seems a good way for
you?
