Do not use "Enable Implied Seek" on enhanced floppy controllers. This
breaks the "2step" feature of the driver, e.g. in order to read 360 KiB media on a 1200 KiB drive. As the only potential advantage of implied (vs. explicit) seeks is to minimize the software effort, yet our driver always contained the logic needed for explicit seeks, simply dropping implied seeks is the best solution without introducing risks for new bugs. There is no performance penalty, reading a 1440 KiB medium takes exactly the same time with both, implied or explicit seeks. MFC after: 1 week
