The driver:
- reads faster (because it does not check for DEAAEB end markers)
- handles more 6*2 formats (D5AA96 and D4AA96 header markers)
- handles 5*3 format (D5AAB5 header marker)
- reads 256, 512 and 1024 bytes blocks

Linked to new FSTs, DOS 3.2 / DOS 3.3 / RDOS 3.3 and RDOS 3.2 (I still
have not done anything usable for CP/M), the driver does a lot more
than the original version,
