During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360 KB type is 40 tracks while 720

tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB,
and 1.44 MB type drives as they are all 80 tracks.

number. Note that there will not be any warning message if
the drive installed is 360 KB.
