    This patch adds support for floppy disks whose sectors are numbered
    starting at 0 rather than 1 as usual disks would be.  This format is used
    for some CP/M disks, and also for certain music samplers (such as Ensoniq
    Ensoniq EPS 16plus).
    
    In order to use it, you need an fdutils with the current patch from
    http://fdutils.linux.lu as well, and then do setfdrpm /dev/fd0 dd zerobased
    sect=10 or setfdprm /dev/fd0 hd zerobased sect.
    
    In addtion, the patch also fixes my email addresses.  I no longer use
    pobox.com.
