- Sort of. There is a typo in the driver that checks the buffer length
- against the contents of a particular word in chip memory instead of
- a constant. If you just have one floppy this happens to be a large
- enough value. If you have two floppies this word is used as a trackdisk
- buffer and contains a value that makes the check fail.
