heh, we just covered this a couple weeks ago.
lemme dig up the old email.....
since this has become a rather regular request now, for the next update I'll
add this code in myself.

the web page is woefully out of date. The latest version of flopper 1.0.1
can be located here:

You'll have to edit 2 files I think. (It's been many, many days since I
worked on this portion of flopper)
equates.inc - look for this line:
SIZE720K EQU 2*09*80*512 ; 2 sided, 9spt, 80 tracks
add 2 more equates:
SIZE1200K EQU 2*15*80*512 ; 2 sided, 15spt, 80 tracks - 1.2mb disk
SIZE1440K EQU 2*18*80*512 ; 2 sided, 18spt, 80 tracks - 1.44mb disk
Then open diskette.inc - look for this stuff:
HST_LOOKUP_TABLE
