It cannot. I once tried to hack support for 2.88 MB into the existing
driver, but eventually gave up. The driver needs a complete rewrite
in order to do this (or some royally painful hackups in order to
accomodate for the differing FDC clock frequencies, wrt. seek timing
etc.).
Once i'm retired, i promise to rewrite that driver. :-)
