The one in v3.05 has a bit of an anomaly. If you have a defective
drive, one that's returning a "general failure reading drive ..."
message, FT_FlopTst() returns a 0, meaning the drive is OK. I now
test using FCREATE() to attempt to create a file on the disk if
FT_FlopTst() returns a 0. This has caught all bad drives so far.
