Dear Maintainer,

While making a floppy images, I tryed to pick the media type 0xF0 because it
seems to be the appropiate value for a 1.44MB floppy according to:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPB_media_descriptor#media

However, I got it denied by mkfs.fat, with:
FAT Media byte must be between 0xF8 and 0xFF : 0xF0

Would it be conceivable to make this value accepted?

Regards,
Christophe.
