I would like to see support for the 1020 5.25" floppy drive -- it's very
handy for interchange of MS-DOS floppies with old 5.25" only systems
(yes, I know it doesn't do MS-DOS format yet, but someday...).  I assume
that since the floppy driver doesn't support or care about diskchange
(right?) that the only change neccesary would be to add a line to the ID
table with the proper information. 

Hmmm... looking through the Hardware RKM, I can't ind an ID defined for
the 5.25" drives, unless it's one of the Reserved values. I guess when I
update to the current sources I'll have to see what it ID's as, if
anything. If it doesn't ID itself, there will have to be some way for a
user program to tell the driver that a drive is present and tell it the
various parameters.
