I myself would vote against saying all amigas have an internal drive. There
should be absolutely no reason to make such an assumption. The reason for
it is the code to get the floppy type isn't working right. I think its a
problem with gcc over optimizing the code. I have sent new assembly code
to Chris to try out. I hope when this is working the assumptions can be
removed.
