If you emulate it at a low level, yes. But if you emulate the Flopfmt() XBIOS
function instead, you can get away without. All it does is construct a track
buffer, then writes it out with an FDC write track command.You might as well
write out the single sectors instead when writing to a ST/MSA file.
