I don't emulate the FDC side of the drive. Instead I monitor certain
memory locations and do the stuff in C.

As I can read the DOS version/error message at least partially I assume
that starting up works, and the bug is somewhere else (reading the error
message should not involve the FDC)
[In fact, only startup and format use custom code that gets loaded
into the FDC RAM and executed there, and of course some bad programs.
The rest uses the standard FDC commands that are easily emulated.
This way we save a third CPU to be emulated...)

It might be a good idea to have a double check on the ROMs, but then I
guess
I should first try again to make them work and see where the error is.

Thanks
