3.4.4 Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is
40 or 80 tracks. 360 KB type is 40 tracks while 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and
1.44 MB are all 80 tracks.
Enabled BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it is 40 or 80
tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB,
and 1.44 MB type drives as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track
number. Note that there will not be any warning message if
the drive installed is 360 KB.
