[Qemu-devel] [RFC 06/10] fdc: add physical disk sizes

2015-06-30 Thread John Snow
2.88MB capable drives can accept 1.44MB floppies, for instance. To rework the pick_geometry function, we need to know if our current drive can even accept the type of disks we're considering. NB: This allows us to distinguish between all of the "total sectors" collisions between 1.20MB and 1.44MB
