well, almost trivial ;-)
It's not fully compatible with linux, as it doesn't allow seeking past
the  end  of  media (i think this is ok), and, alas, for NT only :( (i
don't  think  this  is ok, but i haven't found a way to get media size
under w9x)

	* fhandler_floppy.cc (fhandler_dev_floppy::lseek): Determine
	drive geometry to allow seeking from the end of raw floppy
	device. Don't allow reading past the end of media. Always return
	new file pointer position.
