        Ok. I haven't tried AmigaDOS HD floppies, but was surprised to
        find out that MSDOS HD floppies did indeed work with
        /dev/fd0b. I hadn't noticed that MSDOS track format had been
        added.

        However, I have a problem with MSDOS floppies. I can mount,
        read, and umount the floppy once, but trying to do it again
        will hang the machine. Any ideas?
